Sea to Tree Health & Wellness
Counselling with Rachael
Hello, I am so glad you are here. I would love to be of service on your healing journey. A little about myself, I am a registered social worker with a Master of Social Work with a clinical focus, and have been working in mental health for nearly 3 years. My journey to becoming a therapist was first inspired by my experience working first in the financial sector, and then as an emergency telecommunications operator, helping people through the worst times in their lives financially, emotionally and physically. This ignited a passion in me to engage in meaningful solutions toward helping people heal.
While I am new to the world of private practice, I have worked as a Mental Health Specialist in a telemedicine environment and as a mental health clinician, offering solution-focused brief therapy and mental health assessments. I also have extensive experience in healthcare social work. I like to take a collaborative approach, leading with empathy, respect, and most of all active listening. I always want to make sure I foster a comfortable and supportive environment for you and promise to lend an attentive ear.
In my experience, so much of our pain in the human experience is due to problems rooted in self-esteem, adverse or traumatic experiences in childhood and adulthood, and the simple stresses of day-to-day life. My approach draws from elements of person-centered therapy, anti-oppressive practice, ecological systems theory, cognitive behavioural therapy, and mindful self-compassion to help you better understand the “why” behind harmful thoughts and feelings and help you work toward being the best and happiest version of yourself. I look forward to our journey together, please let me know how I can best support you in your healing.
I work with individuals ages 12 and up. I can also offer consultations in French
