Rachel Siegel is a professional clarinetist, recorder player, and newly-minted psychotherapist. She spent over four years playing in a premier military band called “The President's Own," in which she performed for heads of state, military leaders, and regular concert-going audiences. She then spent time in a master's program in Texas, honing her clarinet-playing skills. In 2020, she applied for a Master of Social Work, with plans to use her therapy background to help performing artists and students of performing arts. She plans to specialize in helping these individuals refine their sense of self and their identity independent of achievement, and to help with their performance anxiety, existential anxiety and depression. Currently, her challenge is to learn how to balance her own performance endeavors in conjunction with her mission as a therapist.
