Rachel Cole

Rachel Cole is a 3rd generation Los Angelino. She attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison & UCLA for her master’s in social work. Since then, Rachel worked for LA County Department of Mental Health as a social worker and a clinical supervisor for almost 10 years. This dynamic environment was an amazing culturally diverse learning experience. While there, she created an internship program for social work students as well as a Mindfulness program for the staff. Rachel began the Somatic Experiencing (SE) training right after obtaining her license in 2007 & became an SEP in 2010. After the 1st day of the SE training, she would never sit with a client the same way. She fell in love with this way of working & continues to be in awe of the transformation it creates both personally and with clients. In 2017 Rachel became a Certified Mercier Therapist, helping women reconnect to their bodies through their pelvis. More recently Rachel has been studying Internal Family Systems (IFS) and loves blending this with SE. She currently has a private practice in Hermosa Beach with 3 associates that are all either SEP’s or SEP’s in training. Rachel’s highest intention is to support others in being their most authentic self.
