About Dr. Foster
About Dr. Rachel Foster, PsyD
Dr. Foster received honors in her undergraduate degree in Sociology and Psychology (with minors in Women Studies and Race and Ethnic Relations) from University of California San Diego (UCSD), completed a MA in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Alliant International University and MA and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology with a forensic emphasis from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University in Orange County, CA. I have worked in domestic violence, substance abuse, military/veteran issues, family issues, divorce, pre-divorce, pre-marital counseling, single-hood, parenting, adoption, financial issues, geriatric, sexuality, LGBTQAI, assessments, infertility (reproductive issues), trauma, corrections, severe mental illness, family education, demential, caregiver support, anxiety, depression, OCD, personality disorders and executive coaching.
I have been passionate about supporting individuals, couples and families in easing their life struggles for what feels like my whole life. I work collaboratively with my patients to achieve their goals at a pace that pushes them yet takes into consideration their life circumstances. I believe every person has unique strengths and goals for themselves that can be discovered and brought out with some insight, exposure and curiosity. I care about peoples' well-being and believe I was called to help others in need using a variety of techniques, mostly using evidence based treatments (supported by research and effectiveness and individual's unique goals and circumstances).
Let's go on a journey together to dig you out of a hole, climb up that mountain or just sit still. I am here to be by your side through the ugly truths, the celebrations and the curve balls life throws our way.
