Getting to know Rachel Bliss

If you're struggling with challenges like managing difficult emotions, navigating transitions, or finding effective ways to cope with trauma, I'm here to help. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Capella University and bring years of experience in a variety of therapeutic roles. I have worked alongside individuals and families facing a wide range of struggles. Whether you're dealing with the impacts of intimate partner violence, coping with grief, or working through mental health issues, I offer a compassionate, supportive environment to help you heal and grow.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have facilitated CBT and DBT group therapy, helping individuals gain tools to manage intense emotions and change harmful thought patterns. I’ve also supported families through parenting groups and social-emotional learning (SEL) curricula, focusing on building stronger connections and resilience. If you’re struggling with motivation or setting challenging goals, I use motivational interviewing and skill-building techniques to help you break down barriers and move forward.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

If you’re ready to take the next step in overcoming these struggles, I am here to walk alongside you, offering the tools and support you need to regain control, find peace, and heal.
