Dr. Rachel Greenberg is a licensed clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and embodiment educator based in Oakland, CA. She founded The Numinous Path to offer psycho-spiritual support that weaves together psychology, somatic awareness, Buddhist teachings, and sacred intimacy practices.
Her work centers on healing childhood wounds and complex trauma so people can reclaim their authentic selves and build deeply fulfilling relationships. She draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Imago Theory, and Buddhist psychology — balancing clinical rigor with heart-centered, embodied practice.
Rachel works with individuals and couples through private sessions, multi-month immersive packages, and community courses like Healing Back to Wholeness. She helps clients understand their attachment patterns, rework limiting beliefs rooted in trauma, and show up in relationships with more presence, trust, and genuine connection.

You've helped me be more aware of the narratives I'm telling myself. You've helped me realize that there is no such thing as 'perfectionism' and that the 'supposed to' mantra that I was living by is not only unhelpful but not even real. I've started to be more aware of how I'm feeling, and I think that awareness is serving me well. I truly enjoyed working with you. Thank you.”

She was always warm and friendly, but she would call me out when I needed her to, which was always appreciated. I felt comfortable telling Rachel any and everything that I was going through, and she never once judged. She gave me all of the tools to work through issues that arise now that I'm on my own. More importantly, she helped me realize my triggers so that I could work toward long-term, positive results.”
