A Fond Farewell to Rachel 💙
As October comes to a close, we are filled with gratitude as we wish Rachel Gaus, LLMSW, the very best in her next chapter. Rachel has made a meaningful impact on our clients and team, sharing her warmth, compassion, and clinical expertise.

She’ll be focusing on her full-time role as a school social worker and spending time with her growing family as she welcomes her second child this November. While we’ll miss seeing her around the office, we’re excited for all that’s ahead for her — and she’ll always have a place here at Forward Therapy.

Please join us in thanking Rachel for her time with us and wishing her all the best!
