Dr. Rachel Green is a licensed clinical psychologist whose clinical and research work sits at the intersection of grief, expressive writing, and the science of self-compassion. She completed her doctoral training at UCLA and trained directly under Dr. James Pennebaker at the University of Texas at Austin — the researcher whose landmark studies established the therapeutic benefits of expressive writing.
Dr. Green has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications on grief, journaling therapy, and self-compassion interventions. Her meta-analytic work on expressive writing outcomes has been cited in over 140 published studies. She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today and has appeared on NPR discussing the mental health benefits of writing through loss.
At EmoraPath, Dr. Green reviews all content related to grief, expressive writing, journaling, and self-compassion — areas where the research evidence is strong but often poorly communicated to general audiences.
Clinical Approach
Dr. Green integrates Pennebaker's expressive writing protocols, Neff's self-compassion training, and narrative therapy approaches to help clients process grief, build self-acceptance, and find meaning after loss.
