Idaho Falls, ID 83406 (Online Only)
The clients I usually work with have experienced some kind of traumatic event(s) currently and/or in their past and are struggling with functioning in their daily lives because of the impacts of the event(s) on their mind, body, and relationships. I work with adults, teens and their families who are experiencing stress, dysregluated emotions, strained relationships, and poor self-esteem. These individuals and families want to stop their negative moods and experiences but feel powerless to change them.

Hi there! I’m Rachel Haroldsen, armed with a fancy degree proclaiming me a mental health therapist, and the licensing boards of Idaho and Missouri gave me the thumbs up as a mental health counselor too! Honestly, life’s wild ride is what led me to this gig. I’ve got your back when it comes to trauma because I’ve been through the wringer myself. Kids? Oh, I totally get them, especially the “hard” and “naughty” ones—because, surprise, I was once a little rebel! Relationship drama? Don’t even get me started! And religious trauma? Yep, been there, done that!

People seek therapy for many reasons, but most people have one common goal: change. They want a change in how they feel, think, behave or in how they are treated.

This is exactly what I strive to provide to every client. I’ve helped clients with various presenting concerns including: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, relationship and family issues, panic attacks, grief, self-harm, stress and more.

Welcome and hello! My name is Janelle. I'm a therapist, a mom, a partner, and just your average messy human. I love what I do and I love the people I get to spend time with each day. I believe that all who enter my office have their own wisdom and truth and I work to find that and teach you how to trust it. I use tools and resources to help you feel whole and congruent and to go forward with your own power. We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll heal. It'll sometimes be uncomfortable. But I promise you won't be alone.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
