Carl Rogers, much like a wise Dumbledor, said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” With over 15 years of experience as a therapist, Racheal has dedicated her career to helping individuals from all walks of life—from children as young as five to adults—navigate the challenges of life and heal from trauma. Much like a Hogwarts professor guiding young witches and wizards, Racheal provides a safe and understanding space where clients can discover their own inner magic to overcome life’s obstacles. Whether it’s a child struggling to tame the unruly, magical beasts of their emotions or an adult working to break free from the curses of past experiences, Racheal is there to guide and support every step of the way.

Education:

Racheal’s education is akin to her magical training, equipping her with the tools and spells necessary to help heal minds and hearts. Racheal received her Bachelor of Psychology at MTSU, her Masters of Professional Counseling at Argosy University (Nashville), and her Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision at Argosy University (Nashville).

Styles:

Racheal’s therapeutic approach is as diverse as the Hogwarts curriculum. Specializing in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a therapy that feels as transformative as casting a powerful Patronus Charm, Racheal helps clients reprocess painful memories and banish emotional ‘Dementors’ that drain joy and peace. For her younger clients, Racheal’s sessions feel as engaging as a class on Care of Magical Creatures, using playful techniques to help children express emotions and confront challenges in a safe and imaginative way. For adults, her therapy takes on a more reflective tone, like uncovering the secrets of the Pensieve, guiding them to explore their pasts, process traumas, and uncover new pathways toward growth. Every client’s journey is unique, and Racheal tailors her approach to ensure they feel supported and empowered.

Hobbies:

When Racheal isn’t working helping her clients with their own therapeutic magic, she enjoys immersing herself in magical stories, including revisiting the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Whether she’s exploring the Forbidden Forest on a hike, crafting her own potions in the kitchen, or playing with her fluffy pets, Racheal finds joy in activities that inspire wonder and connection. She believes that hobbies are like personal spells—small yet powerful rituals that bring balance and peace.

Specialties:

Racheal specializes in helping clients heal from trauma, offering EMDR as a cornerstone of her practice. Think of it as a wand that helps to ‘recast’ how the brain processes painful events, allowing clients to break free from the curses of their past and rediscover their strength. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, Racheal provides the guidance and tools needed to navigate life’s challenges and unlock their own inner magic. Like Dumbledore’s unwavering belief in the power of love, Racheal deeply believes in the transformative power of empathy and connection. She creates a space where every client feels truly seen and supported, empowering them to find their way to a brighter, more magical future.
