Anxiety Therapists in Silverdale, WA

Counseling is my calling, and helping you find resolution for what is not working in your life is my highest goal. As your therapist, I bring intentional listening skills, professional insight, and a safe, no-judgement space in which we can partner together to reach solutions that work for you. I believe that every person deserves "unconditional positive regard" and in our relationship you will know that I am on your side and working hard with you to find peace, hope, and a way forward.

I have experience and great passion for helping those individuals struggling with depression, anxiety , fear, and the memories of past traumatic experiences that continue to have an affect on how they live their lives today. After meeting with and learning more about you, we will together decide on the most effective type of therapy to help you move forward with your life. Many therapies can be successful but I believe it ultimately comes down to the relationship that develops between the client and therapist, and the amount of work and effort put into making change happen.

Hello! I am Rachel, an individual and family therapist and licensed independent clinical social worker. I work with teens and adults, offering both individual and family therapy. I specialize in working with clients who have anxiety , panic attacks, ADHD, autism, and depression. I also support clients experiencing phobias, OCD, grief/loss, and trauma. I partner with clients seeking to strengthen their stress/coping skills, relationships, communication skills, boundaries/self-care, and esteem/self-acceptance. I welcome LGBTQ+ identifying clients. I have taught meditation for 30 years, for those who would like to learn in-session.

Asking for help and finding the support you need is a courageous act and I applaud you for beginning, or returning to, a healing path. Having been in the mental health field for over 30 years, I am certain there is a path of healing for those who want to change their lives. I'd be honored to walk that path with you. ​

My area of specialization is in working with adults with trauma, PTSD, "big" emotion, and overwhelming stress/ anxiety . I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Provider and am trained extensively with issues of PTSD, CPTSD (childhood and chronic trauma), Narcissistic Abuse, infidelity/betrayal (attachment traumas), grief, combat, and past events that linger. I use a attachment based approach to trauma. Many events in the past can have a traumatic effect which can carry over and create problems in the here and now. Trauma is my clinical focus and specialization. Please note that I am only accepting individual clients.

The clients I see often prefer a non pharmaceutical route to help with things like depression, anxiety , ADD/ADHD, or other brain/mental health issues. Others seek help with transitions in their lives or relationship issues at home or work. All clients can benefit from the integrative holistic approach that melds counseling, wellbeing and brain health coaching. My clients ultimate goal is to feel and function at their best to enjoy a future with increased vitality, health and wellbeing and safe satisfying relationships. My methods are often effective for stress management and improving communication/ relationship skills.

I know sharing your struggles with someone can be difficult and scary. It takes courage to allow someone to join you in your healing journey. I have experience working in a variety of settings including private practice, community mental health, residential facilities. I have worked with individuals ages 4-87 from a variety of different cultural and religious backgrounds. Issues that I have gained more extensive experience with include: PTSD, Anxiety , Fear, Anger, Relationship Problems, Impulsiveness, Depression, Hopelessness, Grief, Loss, Self-esteem, Substance Abuse.

During these times, more than ever, the future may feel uncertain and at times unsettling. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change or your life goals. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to walk alongside you, building upon your existing strengths, supporting and empowering you. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety , relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, body image concerns and phase of life challenges. I also have a strong history of working with those who may have experienced trauma and loss.

Life can be hard. Lonely. Confusing. Painful. As woman, we are called on to do a lot and to be a lot - often at the expense of our own health and well-being. When loss or a major life transition occur, it can become too much to handle. Overwhelm floods in. We can reach a breaking point. Are you struggling to function well in your daily life, plagued by sleepless nights, physical discomforts, illness, apathy … just going through the motions of living? Do you worry your relationships are being impacted too much by nagging bad moods or angry outbursts? It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to do this alone. I can help.

"What is within you that longs to come forth, what waits for you to say Yes?" In my work with clients we work together as a team to create a mutual, shared space of compassion, caring and healing. In this space, problems are explored together, losses and hurts are held together. Where there is trauma, it is transformed through bodily-centered somatic therapy and EMDR. I bring a wide array of therapeutic techniques, from ancient wisdom traditions to cutting edge neurobiology, to support your healing and provide practical skills for reaching your goals. Whatever difficulties you face - healing is the rule, not the exception.

Therapy is a time of challenge and change, sorrow and celebration. I strive to provide a climate in which my clients can truly explore themselves and their world. Regardless of technique, I believe that the greatest strength in treatment lies in a meaningful relationship between client and therapist.

Choosing a therapist can be a scary experience, and I would like to make it as comfortable as possible. I offer complimentary 15–30-minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit for each other in the therapeutic process and discuss administrative operations, including fees and scheduling. Whether you decide to see another therapist or me, I hope you find the right person to fit your needs. Life coaching sessions are also offered, which will help you learn to identify and reinforce your values and what’s important to you to achieve a more healthy and balanced life. I promote a safe space for support without judgment.

Life can be hard! Having someone who listens and cares during a difficult time can make all the difference. My commitment to you is to build a strong relationship while offering the tools needed to meet your individual or family goals. I offer a client-centered, solution-focused approach to help guide you and support your needs. With strategies and approaches appropriate for all ages, I offer a non judgmental and safe environment, to help you/or your family achieve your goals. It would be an honor to be a support on your way to a healthy and rewarding journey!

My professional orientation is very eclectic. I combine a Jungian philosophy with CBT and DBT interventions with a client centered approach that involves a caring and insightful focus on self, others and community. My intention is to collaborate fully with each individual and to assist him or her in changing the trajectory of his or her life in a positive way. I view self discovery as an essential part of our unfolding experience together and value our time together. To become an agent of change in one's own life takes tremendous courage and strength; I can help facilitate this.

I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Why get therapy? It's hard work and involves change. But for most people, it's worth it. Therapy is taking care of and investing in yourself. It means you are ready to look at the parts of your life that are not working well-the parts that are hurt, broken or in pain. As your therapist, I will listen with empathy and compassion. Together, we will establish goals and focus on what might make your life better by helping you build resilience and develop coping skills. Through this work, you can learn to be in healthy relationships with others and ultimately with yourself.

"The journey we are on takes us in all different directions, testing us at every turn. There is help and hope. I have been honored to hear people's stories at various points of their journey; witnessing, observing, supporting, empathizing, listening and reflecting. Through hearing their stories, I have learned how fragile the human condition is, and at the same time, the empowering strengths and resiliency each one intrinsically has in adapting and surviving the difficulties put before them."
