Getting to know Rachel Borges

I am a high energy problem solver and a compassionate active listener. I come from a long line of social workers and was always taught to meet people where they are and choose empowerment. I have worked with the elderly community, specifically Alzheimer's & Related Dementias for over 10 years in various capacities and am also a professional musician.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to work from a person-centered approach, allowing the client to direct the sessions during the beginning phase of getting to know each other. When the client believes it would be helpful, I use structured sessions, breathing & physical exercises, journaling, art therapy, music, mindfulness and positivity reframing. I hope that clients feel heard, accepted, safe and motivated to direct their emotional journey. If useful, I like to assign exercises, coping strategies, journaling, and other "homework".

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I prefer to allow the client to tell their story during the first few sessions while I actively listen and take note of the themes/patterns that seem to present the biggest issues in their lives. From there, I expect the client to set realistic goals for themselves and keep themselves accountable in session for their progress in their journey. I expect the client to participate in a review of these goals and their perspective of their progress in a timely manner and address barriers to change. I believe that the therapeutic session is a good place to touch base on what work has been accomplished by client outside of session.
