Rachel Glass earned her bachelors degree in psychology from Marymount at Fordham University, and her masters degree in clinical/counseling psychology from Columbia University.  She has also formally studied theology.                

     Rachel worked with NYC foster care kids and adolescents.  She has worked in in-patient and social services.  She now has a private practice.                   

   Rachel was a professional actress for over a decade, and a member of Screen Actors Guild from 1997 to 2003.  She was a staff writer for the magazine DGNY, and has written the yet to be published novels Neutral and Wedding Wine.  

      For her novel Wedding Wine, Rachel uses her background in psychology to add archetypical images, and existential conflicts to this story about a family, a vineyard, and magical wine. She also employees her theological training by peppering this novel with classic theological percepts.

     Rachel was chosen to write the content for Columbia University’s on line abnormal psychology course.  Writing this content involved translating relevant research and technical language into easily digestible content.  She has applied this skill to her novel Neutral so that the reader easily learns the subtleties of the diagnostic, legal, and ethical issues that frame psychology. The reader also learns the symptoms of many disorders and how they are treated while being challenged and entertained.
