Individual Therapy for Millennial Women 

THERAPY FOR TRAUMA, ANXIETY, AND GRIEF 
IN PROVIDENCE, RI + VIRTUALLY ACROSS RHODE ISLAND AND WASHINGTON STATE

When you allow a trustworthy therapist to enter into your story with you, your possibilities can expand in ways you couldn’t previously imagine.

Sometimes life can unexpectedly knock you off your feet and leave you feeling disoriented and burned out. You may reach out to a friend when you’re feeling anxious or navigating the impact of traumatic experiences but it’s not uncommon to feel misunderstood in the process. Maybe people see you as high functioning but you still struggle with imposter syndrome or insecurity. Perhaps you’ve done some therapy around trauma but are uncovering new layers and needing qualified guidance as you work through the impacts. Or maybe you’ve lost a loved one and are feeling isolated in grief that nobody really understands.

Any one of these experiences is a good enough reason to get a qualified provider on your team. Someone who cares about you AND has the skills to help you make measurable change. Someone who can help you to live a life with more peace.

I’m Rachael

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. Welcome to my office, where I see clients both in person and remotely.

I’ll help you move from overwhelm to peace, equipping you with tools that you can use for a lifetime.

How does individual therapy work?

STEP ONE

First, we set up a complimentary 15 minute consult call to assess if we are a good fit. Then we meet for an intake session where we determine the goals you are looking to meet and how I can help you reach them.

STEP TWO

Once we have established a plan for our time together, we begin doing the work of evaluating your thoughts, behaviors, and patterns to determine what in your life is serving you and what isn’t. We gently identify places where change may benefit you and I equip you with tangible skills to practice in your day to day life. We also process experiences that may not be in your control but are impacting you in difficult ways. We learn to make peace with the things you can’t control and shift the things you have choice over. 

STEP THREE

We regularly check in to make sure we are meeting the goals we set out to address. Therapeutic fit is one of the biggest determinants of whether or not someone feels successful in their therapy process. I make it a priority to see that we are on the right path. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. If at any point either of us determines that the direction we are taking isn’t working, we explore ways to pivot in our work together or discuss alternate modalities or providers.
