HELLO

welcome to cobranding!

we love therapy

And that's why we do what we do.

 

Years ago, while studying branding, Rachel needed a therapist. Scrolling through Psychology Today, she couldn't fathom how anyone was supposed to start the most vulnerable relationship of their life with nothing to go on but an ocean of smiling headshots, impersonal bios, and generic websites.

​

Branding is one of the most powerful compatibility tools we have, and in the mental health world, compatibility can be life-saving. Your brand is a magnet. It attracts and repels, whether you mean it to or not, and without care it can pull in clients who drain you and push away the ones who need you most.

​

But most therapists treat branding like an afterthought, slapping a Canva logo on a Squarespace template, heading right to Instagram, and wondering why nothing's working.

​

In 2019, Rachel founded coBranding to change that. And in a post-Covid, highly virtual world full of AI slop and bullshit content, authentic, resonant, human branding matters more than ever.

COBRANDING (noun)

co·bran·ding /ˈkoʊˌbrændɪŋ/

​

A unique, collaborative branding approach, built around connectedness, that facilitates compatible client/clinician relationships, so those who need you know it.

Think of this like business therapy for therapists.

Every practice is different, and so is every person behind it. This work isn't one size fits all. We meet you where you are, and together, we go where you want to be.

​

Instead of squeezing you into a standardized process, we pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and focus on what matters most: the time we spend together and what we can design and create in real time.

​

Think of it like business therapy for therapists: a space to talk things through, get things done, and leave feeling clearer, and genuinely excited about your practice and how it shows up in the world.

 

In each one on one session, we determine the "next right thing" for you and your goals and work through it live together.​​ That real-time collaboration allows us to get aligned, lock in, and bring what feels intangible to life.

Rachel remembers how overwhelming it felt to scroll through endless therapist profiles, trying to choose the person she’d trust with her most vulnerable moments. That experience revealed the power of branding to create real, human connection, ultimately inspiring the foundation of coBranding. With a versatile background in design, branding, education, and business, she developed a unique, holistic approach to branding and design crafted to empower mental health practitioners to help those who need them most.

Outside of coBranding, you can find Rachel spending time with loved ones, cooking eggplant parm while singing in the kitchen, or hanging out with her husband, Rob, and their pup, Bella.
