Getting to know Rachel Aredia
Have you been feeling down or lost? As if you are floating through life, having trouble finding direction? Are you unsure about the state of your relationships or friendships? Worried about what to do next? Are you stuck in an overall state of grief after experiencing loss? Those are such hard places to be, and I’d love to help. With my professional training—a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology—and life experience, I will help you identify new possibilities and guide you in discerning the best options for yourself as you navigate these big questions.
My approach is engaging, empathic, and direct, with a dash of humor thrown in. Let’s work together to create a space where you can be your authentic self and break down any barriers so you feel more empowered and at ease in your life.
Reaching out to a therapist can feel scary—it can feel hard to find the right fit. I truly believe in making this experience as easy as possible and will work with you to make sure you are in the right place, and if not, I will help you find the best fit. I am licensed in Illinois, New York, and Indiana.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I really work to humanize the process of therapy. In my personal life, I have met with multiple therapists through different walks of life. One thing that bothered me in my own journey was a robotic and very clinical feel to therapy. For some people, that works and there is no judgment there! For me, as a person and a therapist - that's just not who I am.
I strive to create an environment for my clients that they can feel comfortable, at ease, and cared for. I have been known to use humor in session and challenge my clients to consider different coping skills or perspectives when needed.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Before we meet, I will send over some paperwork to be completed 24 hours prior to our first session. This paperwork gives me an idea of what you are looking for and if we are a good fit. It is also a time for you to reflect on what your therapeutic needs are. Once the paperwork is received, I will review it prior to our session.
At the time of our session, we will log onto the HIPAA compliant platform used for telehealth sessions. We will go over the practive policies and then jump into getting to know you and your needs. You will have an opportunity to ask me any questions you may have and we can talk about scheduling moving forward.
The first two to three sessions will be a "getting to know you" process. Once we have finished the history gathering and goal setting, we will move into our sessions in which we will work on meeting our therapeutic goals. You will also have time to talk about whatever it is that you need to discuss. Maybe you had a rough day at work and need to talk about that or maybe you've met someone new that you are really excited about dating. Whatever the needs are, I am here to work with you.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $170 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $140-160 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
Out of pocket costs are as follows:
60-minute Initial sessions: $170
60-minute follow up sessions: $160
45-minute follow up sessions: $140
I offer a sliding scale for clients that are unable to pay full fee service.
For clients with insurance that I am out of network with, I offer what is called a super-bill. This document is for the client to submit to their insurance plans for *possible* out of pocket reimbursement from their insurance company. Reimbursement is NOT guaranteed by the practice.
It is always a good idea to call your insurance company to get an idea of what your benefits and coverage is.
