Hi, I’m Rachael — a licensed clinical mental health counselor supervisor and board certified art therapist who specializes in helping clients transition through periods marked by change, self-doubt, grief and loss. My focus areas are with young adults, women, and highly sensitive people currently living in North Carolina. I also offer supervision to provisionally licensed counselors and art therapists in North Carolina. All ethnicities, religions, gender identities and sexual orientations are welcome here.
For New Referrals: I am not accepting new therapy clients at this time and will be unable to return phone calls from prospective clients for the time being. Please see my contact page for some resources.
COVID-19 Note: All art therapy & counseling sessions are offered remotely via telehealth video conferencing.
About Me
Every therapist has a different style of leading you into your own wholeness, growth and healing. Learn more about how I combine clinical research-based counseling with art therapy and other modalities to support my clients.
Services

Inspiration
