Dr. Rachel Gall(PhD, LP, LMFT)
Licensed Clinical Psychologist, The Neurodivergent Parent Collective
Professional Bio
Dr. Rachel Gall is a licensed clinical psychologist who brings deep expertise, warmth, and a slightly rebellious spirit to her work with neurodivergent families. She specializes in helping parents navigate the messy, nonlinear journey of diagnosis, support, and growth—with a focus on authenticity over perfection.
Rachel is passionate about the kids who don’t fit neatly into systems—the ones who’ve been misunderstood, mislabeled, or left behind. She doesn’t shy away from complexity; she welcomes it. Her work centers on helping families move past shame, shed masking, and build lives rooted in who they truly are, not who the world says they should be.
At The Neurodivergent Parent Collective, Rachel meets families at their real starting point: overwhelmed, questioning, and often feeling alone. She helps them find clarity without judgment—and reminds them that healing doesn’t come from fixing a child, but from building an environment where every child (and parent) can be their full, complicated self.
Personal Quotes
Why do you love what you do?
“I love complexity. I love when things don’t fit neatly into a box. And I love helping people slowly strip away the pressure to perform, to mask, to hide—and start living more fully as themselves.”
What excites you about The ND Parent Collective?
“What we’re doing here is still a little fringe—and I love that. Parenting support is so often focused on behavior and consequence. But we’re saying: let’s listen first. Let’s start from a place of humanity, not control.”
