"It's never to late to have a happy childhood" This quote embodies the core belief and hope that I bring into my practice. Most people bring wounds from childhood into their adulthood. These wounds show up in their lives as depression, anxiety, low-self-esteem and unhealthy relationships. In therapy, you can become aware of those wound and how they limit your life today, grieve your losses and learn healthier ways to get those childhood needs met. As this healing occurs, we can explore ways to live life more fully and joyfully and to thrive rather than just survive.

So many of us struggle through the plot twists in life and find loneliness and depression, separation from others, and stress along the way. The stages and changes we encounter in our relationships, work lives, and personal experiences are easier when faced with support. Sometimes the people in our lives are not the right people to offer this support, and sometimes we prefer to keep them out of it. An outsider, completely dedicated to your goals and growth, your exploration and journey may be exactly what you need.

I would consider it an honor to join you in your process of recovering the pieces of your life that were lost or misplaced during the shuffle. I have a passion for working with individuals who have challenges in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, anger, and communication.

Clients' needs may vary but most share the same theme of wanting to work toward positive change. My experience with working with such a diverse client population and education in sport & performance psychology has provided me with an approach that I am confident can help almost anyone in need. Therapy has the potential to be a space where clients' can explore their concerns and issues with professional guidance with the focus to achieve their individual goals. Getting symptoms under control, exploring mental blockage, and so many more obstacles can be effectively addressed with the right support.

While cognitive behavior therapy is most widely used, I focus on the individual needs of each client to meet their needs.

Rachel Lorraine Lanier
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, APCC

When I think of the concept of a person, I think of a being that is guided by a need to be loved and to give love. Love can take on many forms, but the most powerful form of love is that of self-love. Cultivating self-love and self-compassion is my personal goal of doing therapeutic work. I believe that we tend to pursue the things we feel like we want before identifying who we are. Our lack of self-acknowledgment and understanding can leave us confused and in states of distress. My hope is to join you on your path towards self-discovery, self-compassion, and, ultimately, self-love.

I provide a warm and nurturing environment that will allow you to work on your innermost deep concerns and surface concerns. My approach is down to earth, non-judgmental, supportive, and honest.

Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball when we least expect it. It could be the death of a loved one, the loss of a dream, illness or the break up of a longtime relationship, which momentarily makes us lose our footing. Together we can explore both the pain and the strength that it takes to get back on track. One of my passions is working with people who are searching to believe in themselves again.
