About

Rachel Maldonado

Connection in the context of relationships.

Rachel Maldonado is a licensed therapist and life coach whose work centers on one idea: connection in the context of relationships.

Based in the Chicago area, Rachel works with therapy clients at a private practice while running her life coaching business — serving individuals and couples across 19 US states and Canada since 2020.

Her media work puts her in conversation with some of the world's most compelling figures: physicians, freedom fighters, entrepreneurs, war correspondents, and cultural commentators.

She launched her Substack relationship newsletter in October 2022 and has expanded her media output steadily ever since.
