My website
Hi! I’m Rachel, and I offer down-to-earth, systemically minded therapy for anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, infidelity repair/betrayal trauma and sexual addictions. My practice focuses on three areas: 1. High-Exposure Careers: Supporting military, police, EMS, and disaster workers facing cumulative stress and trauma. 2. Sexual & Relational Healing: A non-judgmental space for sexual addiction/recovery, unwanted sexual behavior, and betrayal trauma. 3. Deeper Healing: For anyone ready to explore lasting change. I also offer optional Christian counseling and am open to clients of all faiths—or none at all. This is totally optional.
Together, we'll move beyond coping to actively address the root of the problem. I specialize in trauma, chronic stress, grief, and unwanted/compulsive sexual behaviors. I use evidence-based modalities like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and IFS—a powerful and highly effective approach for anyone seeking deep healing.
Feeling cranky, withdrawn, or stuck in old habits? I get it. You don't have to carry that weight alone. If you’re ready to trade the pressure for some peace of mind, let's talk.
Take the first step to help. Rachel Burnley now
