“Rachelle was great I learned some important things about how to deal with my flashbacks which I've been using. I recognize that the road to my recovery is a long one but I have a new tool to get me there. I've had extensive therapy but I didn't learn much about how to deal with everyday life and what it's throwing me but with Rachelle I think I have someone that can really get through to me. I feel some hope finally. My struggle has been ongoing for 24 years so I have been dealing with this a long time and it has taken a toll on me but for once I feel hopeful. I think Rachelle is a very good asset to your company. Thank you for reaching out to me it is greatly appreciated.”

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have been practicing since 1998. Everyone can heal and/or just start a new path. Staying in the present with mindfulness and acceptance is important. I will take the journey with you. I love dogs, the out doors, and life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience: - Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you. - Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals. - Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on. - Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results. - Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. - Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
