Getting to know Rachel Gunn

As a therapist, I’m often asked what brought me to this field. While the question, “Why did you become a therapist?”, is fairly simple and straightforward, the answer to that is anything but. My quick and cliche answer is “I enjoy helping people!” and although that is true, it is not the true reason. The answer stems back to childhood (doesn’t it always!?). I remember what it was like to speak up for myself and feel dismissed. Minimized. Ignored. Sometimes punished. I remember what it was like to not have a voice. To be sitting in my own therapy sessions and feeling completely unable to speak, the fear clenching the throat and jaw shut as if that were the only way to stay protected. I learned from a young age (and continued to learn through my young adulthood) that being open and vulnerable with some people of authority was dangerous. I developed pretty effective, albeit still problematic, ways of adapting and coping. I was a master at shutting down. Over time, my self-diagnosed selective mutism and freeze/fawn trauma response caught up with me. The stress, anger, sadness, and injustice of it all became too much to bear — until I finally found a therapist who truly met me where I was. I didn’t feel like “the difficult client” or the client they didn’t know what to do with. I felt cared for, seen, and truly heard. This allowed me to start opening up and actually sharing my story. It changed everything. This is why I do what I do. If you are looking for an authentic, relatable, sometimes funny (and sometimes cussing, if that’s your thing), warm and nonjudgmental human and trained therapist — I’m your girl. I don’t believe in showing up as a “blank slate.” Real growth occurs when we feel connected to one another, when we feel felt, heard, seen, supported, and held. I believe this can only occur with authenticity. My goal is to help you feel like you can finally exhale, and provide you with the space to uncover and reflect on your patterns with curiosity.
