Rachaili Hacker, LAC
Licensed Associate Counselor | Child & Adolescent Specialist
Rachaili Hacker is a Licensed Associate Counselor based in New Jersey, specializing in ADHD therapy for children and teens, as well as support for anxiety and depression.
She takes a warm, collaborative approach, working closely with young clients and their families to build the skills and confidence needed to navigate everyday challenges at home, in school, and in relationships.
A key part of her work involves helping parents better understand their child’s needs and feel equipped to support them beyond the therapy room.
Who Rachaili Works With
Many families come to Rachaili when their child is struggling with:
- Attention, focus, and impulsivity related to ADHD
- Emotional dysregulation and meltdowns
- Anxiety and worry that interferes with school or daily life
- Depression and low motivation
- Executive functioning challenges such as organization, time management, and task initiation
- School stress and adjustment difficulties
Therapeutic Approach
Rachaili uses evidence-based strategies tailored to each child’s unique needs. Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help young clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. Sessions are collaborative and strengths-based, focused on helping kids and teens feel capable, not just compliant.
Background & Experience
Rachaili brings a wide range of real-world experience working with young people. Her time as a middle school guidance counselor gave her firsthand insight into how ADHD and emotional challenges show up in academic and social settings. That experience directly informs how she supports children, adolescents, and their families today. She has also worked in group practice settings with individuals across the lifespan and couples, and supported children navigating adjustment challenges in camp environments.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Master’s of Education in Mental Health Counseling.
