EDUCATION & TRAINING:

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, National Certified

Counselor, and a Certified Trauma Professional. I am a member of the American

Counseling Association, the North Carolina Counseling Association, and the

National Career Development Association. I completed Master’s and Specialist’s

degrees in Counseling and Human Systems in 2008 and I am currently a doctoral

student working towards my PhD in counseling.

My doctoral research and practice concentration centers around trauma recovery, specifically interpersonal and gender violence.

​

COUNSELING APPROACH:

While my therapeutic approaches and modalities are integrative and largely determined by the needs of the individual, I gravitate towards holistic, person-centered therapies. This includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), humanistic psychology, relational-cultural therapy, and somatic psychology. All approaches I employ are grounded in being trauma-informed and social justice minded. 

 

I view therapy as a partnership, where the individual is the expert in their own life and the counselor supports them on their path to optimal well-being. I believe each person has strengths and the capability to change their lives for the better. I look forward to empowering those I work with in their unique journeys!

​

AREAS OF EXPERIENCE:

I am best suited to provide therapy to individual adolescent and adult clients working through the following challenges:

• Trauma

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Grief and Loss

• Career Development

Rachel operates her own private practice, Dreaming Tree Counseling, and is a member of Trinitas Services.
