I’m Paige Rechtman, LMHC, a licensed mental health counselor based in Brooklyn, NY, and the author and illustrator of It’s All the Same Forest. Here’s what I do:
Therapy. I work one-on-one with New Yorkers navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, breakups, big moves, motherhood, and more. If you’re feeling paralyzed by the tangled ball of chaos and worry in your mind, let’s figure it out together. Schedule a free 15-minute consult call.
Pet Loss Support. The relationship you have with a pet is one of the most meaningful you can have in your life. I am here to help you honor your special bond through pet loss coaching, group support, and other resources, like my free self-care guide after losing a soulmate pet.
Creativity. One of the best ways I’ve learned to cope with my own and anxiety and existential dread is to CREATE. So I’m always working on something, from writing, to knitting sweaters, to creating a book dedicated to my cat.
If you’re up late at night feeling hopeless about the future or regretting the past, I get it. Together, we can untangle your worries, and create a more positive view of yourself so you can find inner peace.
When your pet is your soulmate, saying goodbye shatters your world. I know because I’ve been there. The bond you shared deserves to be honored, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
You don’t need to be in a therapy session to work on your mental health. Discover courses, journals, and other tools for self-care, anxiety management, and more.
The worst part about having a pet isn’t picking up their poop or the expensive vet bills – it’s having to say goodbye.
You don’t need a grand plan or a stack of self-help books. Change can start with these 2 little words.
