As your therapist, I believe in the importance of meeting you where you are at in your healing journey, remaining patient every step of the way. During our time together, we might focus on learning healthy coping skills, developing healthy boundaries, finding healthy ways to regulate distressing emotions, and how to cope with the impacts of trauma.

Brene Brown stated, “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” Being our authentic self is easier said than done, but it is totally worth it. To develop this, we need to embrace our strengths, explore our values, pay attention to our self-talk, notice our emotions, practice mindfulness, build a solid social support network, and face our fears. When we live authentically, we generate trust within ourselves and with others. This process can be difficult but is worth it.

We were designed as unique, intricate people and I hope you’ll find it healing to give space to process through all parts of yourself. You will see my personality in our time together (warm, welcoming, direct) and I hope to see yours, too! Together, we can determine your goals.

You are not broken, you are deeply hurt. It is easy to find yourself in unhelpful patterns & ways of being. This might be due to your nervous system being flooded with anger, fear & despair. In a creative way to survive, you have found self-protection strategies. Unfortunately, these strategies are likely no longer helpful. Part of our work together will be unraveling this muscle memory to reveal how you can live a life that is true to you. YOU become the place of self-awareness, peaceful acceptance & intentional action. As a certified trauma professional & art therapist, I integrate these tools into our therapeutic work.

Hi! My name is Rachael Gilbert and I graduated from Grand Valley State University in 2017 with my Master’s in Social Work. Most of my early career was spent working with families in foster care and running residential programs. I also have experience working in outpatient therapy in community mental health. I take to heart the unique and incredible journey that individuals have experienced that led them to my care. The strength and vulnerability that it takes an individual to share their story is not something I take lightly. My goal is that every person receives support they need and leaves with more hope than when they walked in.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years and I have worked in a variety of settings including psychiatric hospitals, community mental health, employee assistance, and now private practice. What I love most about what I do is learning and understanding my clients' individual histories and current life situations. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" treatment plan, everyone's story is unique and their story has to be heard. My clients and I work as a team to figure out what the goals of therapy are and to try to reach those goals as best as we can. My job is to guide, not lead, a client on their journey.
