What is Divergent Worlds? I created my practice to create a space where you can come and be yourself, find yourself, and become yourself. Divergent Worlds recognizes that we all need a space to be real, even and especially as we are exploring what that might mean.
Through therapy for clients, supervision for licensed and pre-licensed associates, and consultation with and for other therapists, we all at Divergent Worlds envision facilitating each person in finding, connecting with, and asserting their personal and professional identities, values, and selves.I am so excited to welcome Claudette Largess to our practice.

Services
Divergent Worlds includes me, and associates here to collaborate and learn from like-spirited people. We all provide therapy in our unique styles, and a range of assessments, letters and documentation, and advocacy.
My background and training draws heavily from depth psychotherapy theories (how our childhood experiences, histories, and relationships influence our current, past, and future perceptions and experiences), and relational theories (the ways relationships with ourselves and others impact, influence, and inspire us).I also find it important and exciting to learn and incorporate current methods and ideas into my work and style.

I offer sessions using a variety of formats: Remotely using phone or video platforms, outdoors where we meet outside or stroll through the neighborhood, or in person (when I return to the office). In sessions, we may use EMDR, Brainspotting, creative arts, talking, and movement. I start with a foundation of talk therapy and holding space, and add in those outlets and potentially others as we explore the best ways for us to work together.
There are several areas where I have significant additional expertise and experience, including training and consulting. Trauma can mean so many different things. It can refer to the experiences and impacts of one specific event, a relationship or series of relationships, a complex family situation, or former or ongoing oppression.
I maintain a core belief that supportive psychotherapy and psychological services should be available for individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and economic circumstances. Privilege, oppression, and life circumstances can impact income and access, and I strive to recognize and address this in my practice.
I have a client portal where you can digitally and securely complete the documentation I use in my practice. You can access that portal and complete the documentation by going to the Simple Practice Client Portal page and creating your account. These forms are listed here so they are always available and so that you can review them and know what to expect.

Rachel is awesome. She can be a bit soft-spoken at first, but she is extremely smart, insightful and knowledgeable.
Ironically, the main reason I went with Rachel is because the non-traditional aspects of my life aren't the things that stress me out. Society's acceptance of them is sometimes a problem, yes, but mainly I wanted to be able to discuss everything without some stick-in-the-mud seeing the things that bring me joy as pathologies or diseases. So if that resonates with you, seek her out.

Dr. Robbins was super helpful for me. She is very approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable without being authoritarian. I felt like she did a great job of being a figure of guidance, of helpful questioning, and of encouragement. She is especially good about lifestyles and practices that aren't WASPy/"Leave It To Beaver"-ish - she is a safe counselor, trustworthy and respectful. If you have the sorts of worries in your life where you think a counselor might dismiss or reject you, Dr. Robbins will be a safe therapist for you.
