Getting to know Rachel Wakeford

Hi there, I'm Rachel! I’m a therapist who practices EMDR and works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. From that place of self-awareness and healing, we can begin to create meaningful change and move toward the life you truly want to live. My approach My approach is both supportive and exploratory—I help clients not only manage symptoms, but also connect with deeper parts of themselves to access emotions that may have been buried or overlooked. From that place of self-awareness and healing, we can begin to create meaningful change and move toward the life you truly want to live. My focus I have also done trainings in OCD, Eating Disorders, Grief, and CBT/DBT techniques. Together, we can tailor your therapy experience to support you and your needs! My communication style My communication style is direct yet compassionate. I ask insight-oriented questions to help clients explore patterns, feelings, and beliefs more deeply—but I also hold space for you to move at your own pace. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, so while I’ll offer reflection and guidance, I also encourage you to voice your needs and take time to gather your thoughts. My goal is to create a safe and respectful space where meaningful insight and self-direction can coexist.
