Rachel Silverman, LMHC

Rachel is a licensed mental health counselor specializing in treating sleep concerns. She earned a Bachelors degree in psychology from Brown University and a Masters in Counseling from Salve Regina University. Prior to starting RI Sleep Therapy, Rachel trained and worked as a research and clinical therapist at Butler & Newport Hospitals, and in college counseling and addiction treatment settings. In each of these clinical settings she has seen that when sleep is not going well, it is a great struggle, if not impossible, to make progress in other areas of life. For this reason, sleep has been an area of ongoing clinical interest, focus and specialized training throughout her counseling career. In addition to Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Rachel’s training and clinical approach include Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
