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, abilities, religions, gender identities and sexual orientations are welcome here.
For New Referrals: I am accepting new therapy clients and supervisees. Please see my contact page to get in touch.
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
I offer one-on-one private counseling. Sometimes within loss we find lessons and in pain, empathy; a valuable emotional resource. I provide supervision to counselors and art therapists who are motivated to become the best they can be in this meaningful work.
Inspiration
