Hello! My name is Rachel Li (she/her), and I am a Ph.D. student in Clinical Psychology at Miami University. Through my clinical training, I have worked with individuals navigating concerns related to neurodivergence, trauma, perfectionism, emotional difficulties, and life transitions. As a therapist and assessor, I strive to understand how each client’s unique experiences have shaped who they are and to collaborate in identifying meaningful and effective support. I believe that a genuine, trusting relationship is the foundation of effective therapy and assessment, and I aim to create a space where clients feel understood and cared for.

In assessment work, I provide comprehensive evaluations designed to deepen clients’ self-understanding and offer clear, practical guidance. I particularly enjoy working with clients with complex histories and overlapping concerns related to ADHD/Autism, mood difficulties, and trauma, and I have specialized training in assessing children and adolescents. I tailor each evaluation to the individual, selecting measures that help uncover important patterns, strengths, and areas of need. I also believe assessment results should be accessible rather than overwhelming or overly technical; My goal is for clients to leave the evaluation process with greater self-understanding and concrete next steps.

As a therapist, I have experience supporting individuals navigating neurodivergence, identity-related concerns, relational difficulties, and mood concerns. My approach draws from Narrative Therapy, evidenced based therapies and principles to support emotional processing and practical problem-solving. I am especially passionate about helping clients build nurturing relationships with themselves and others in ways that feel authentic to them. In my work with youth and families, I enjoy helping young people better understand their emotions, behaviors, and developmental needs while supporting caregivers in building supportive family environments. My research background in child emotional development and parent-child relationships also informs my work and allows me to integrate evidence-based knowledge into treatment and assessment.

I understand that seeking therapy and assessment can feel confusing, vulnerable, or discouraging, particularly for individuals who have felt misunderstood or stigmatized in the past. It is a privilege to be part of this process with you, and I am committed to creating a collaborative, compassionate space where we can explore the next steps together.
