Rachel Oristano, DSCM MSEd LAc

We are connective, social beings, and we all need support to help guide us out of the ruts in which we find ourselves. I want to empower you to harness your unique strengths, honor your values, and feel heard even if you're having trouble finding your voice. My approach respects both evidence-based and experience-based forms of wisdom. I have 10+ years of combined clinical experience and 15+ years of lived experience as a member of the LGBTQIA kink community. I have completed my Level 1 Training of Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work with couples and individual clients aged 18 and up. In addition to my training as a mental health counselor (MSEd), I hold a Doctorate of Science in Chinese Medicine (DSCM) and an acupuncture license (LAc). I also offer 1:1 coaching and professional consultations. Questions before your visit? If you go to the appointment page on my website to schedule a free curiosity call, I will be able to set aside time just for you!

My practice is located in East Falls, Philadelphia, right next to a wonderful local coffee shop and plant nursery! The space is a mental health clinic, an acupuncture clinic, an art gallery, and a community space all in one. My goal is to cultivate something that is both nurturing and honest. This space is not for the conventional wellness community; this space is for those who don’t fit in anywhere else, who exist on the fringes of the fringes. It’s for those who find themselves uncomfortable with the performative spirituality that is often found in wellness spaces.
