Dr. Rachel Gingold of Family Health and Wellness Services Named a 2025 NJ Top Doc
Dr. Rachel Gingold of Family Health and Wellness Services has been reviewed and approved by NJ Top Docs based on merit for 2025. Dr. Gingold is a licensed psychologist in New Jersey, New York, and through the Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) compact. She earned her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from Yeshiva University in 2003 and has dedicated her career to supporting individuals through the complex transition from adolescence to young adulthood. Her passion lies in understanding how changing societal norms influence key life milestones and identity development.
Dr. Gingold began her graduate studies in counseling psychology at Northeastern University in Boston, where she received intensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through the Women’s Treatment Program at McLean Hospital. She went on to complete a two-year residency in marriage and family therapy at Harvard Medical School and the Blanton-Peale Counseling Center.
After relocating to New York, Dr. Gingold shifted her focus to research, coordinating a five-year study at New York University exploring how adolescent relationships evolve over time and shape identity. Her work has been published in the Journal of Social Issues and New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.
In 2005, Dr. Gingold founded Family Health and Wellness Services in New Jersey. Drawing from her own experiences with grief and relationship loss, she became an Advanced Grief Recovery Method (GRM) Specialist. She found the GRM’s evidence-based tools to be a powerful complement to DBT, particularly in helping individuals process unresolved emotional pain and unspoken communication.
Dr. Gingold is also part of the Center for the Heart (C4TH), where she supports families navigating end-of-life care. In collaboration with C4TH founder Holly Strelzik, she co-developed the Intensive Grieving and Living Weekend Workshop, designed to help professionals and high-functioning adults move through grief and reconnect with life. Dr. Gingold is certified to facilitate all GRM programs and remains committed to helping individuals heal and grow through life’s most challenging transitions.
