RACHEL ORINGHER, PSYD
Specialized Treatment for Eating Disorders & Mental Health Challenges
My Approach to Therapy
Providing virtual individual and family services for adolescents and adults in all 42 PsyPact participating states
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. Seeking help takes courage, and I consider it a privilege to support patients and families through some of life's most challenging experiences. As a psychologist, I take a present-focused, evidence-based approach to treatment. Whether we are addressing an eating disorder, OCD, anxiety, body image concerns, or challenges related to pregnancy and postpartum, my goal is to help patients make meaningful changes that improve quality of life.
I value authenticity, genuine warmth, and creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are. Patients have described me as approachable, easy to talk to, and nonjudgmental. At the same time, I believe effective therapy requires more than simply feeling heard; it requires a thoughtful plan for change. I strive to balance compassion with evidence-based interventions that help patients move toward recovery and lasting well-being.
Services
My practice is currently fully virtual, which gives me the flexibility to work with clients wherever they are and makes scheduling easier to fit into daily life. Virtual sessions remove the barrier of travel time and make it easier for family members to join together, even when they are in different locations. If you are unsure if I can help with what you are experiencing, I encourage you to reach out to discuss whether I may be a good fit for your needs.
Virtual therapy services are available to individuals and families in all PsyPact participating states.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based care and specialized expertise in the treatment of eating disorders across the lifespan. I am committed to providing compassionate, individualized treatment informed by the strongest available research while recognizing the unique experiences, strengths and goals of each patient and family.
-
Because obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) frequently co-occurs with eating disorders, I have developed specialized training and experience in the treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders. My approach is rooted in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD.
-
I help patients develop a healthier and more compassionate relationship with food, their bodies and themselves. My goal is not only symptom reduction, but also helping individuals build greater confidence, self-trust, flexibility, resilience and engagement in the things that matter most to them.
-
The transition to motherhood can bring immense joy while also introducing unexpected challenges, including anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelm, changes in self-identity and concerns about body image. For some women, these experiences intersect with a history of eating disorders or disordered eating; for others, they arise independently.
-
I am passionate about supporting not only those seeking therapy, but also the professionals who dedicate their lives to caring for others. I offer consultation services for licensed therapists seeking additional guidance in the treatment of eating disorders, including support with case conceptualization, evidence-based interventions and navigating the complexities of eating disorder care.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not currently work directly with insurance companies. This allows me to focus solely on your clinical care without having treatment dictated by what insurance will and will not cover. It also allows me to provide you with the utmost privacy as I do not have to submit clinical documentation or diagnostic information to your carrier.
If you would like to use your insurance, you can call the member number on the back of your insurance card and ask about out-of-network benefits for mental health services. The billing codes most often used are 90791 (initial intake), 90834 or 90837 (individual therapy) or 90847/90846 for couples or family therapy. I will provide monthly statements for you to submit to your insurance company. If your insurance company provides out-of-network benefits, they will likely reimburse you a percentage of what you have already paid, which may count toward your out-of-network deductible. I am happy to review any billing questions you have and can support you in managing this process.
-
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for non-emergency services if you are uninsured or not using insurance. You can request this estimate before scheduling, and your provider will give it to you in writing at least one business day before your appointment. If your final bill is $400 or more above the estimate, you have the right to dispute it. For more information, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call Dr. Oringher at 240-994-9742.
