Rachel Bushnell

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who is passionate about helping people find hope, healing, and lasting growth. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns that are difficult to break, whether that's substance use, difficulty focusing, overwhelming emotions, or other life challenges. I believe meaningful change happens when you have the right support and a safe space to be yourself. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build practical skills, and create lasting change that carries into your everyday life.

I believe therapy should be both practical and compassionate. My approach is collaborative, structured, and tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace. I'll help you identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and build realistic skills you can use outside of our sessions. I balance support with accountability, offering honest feedback in a respectful, nonjudgmental way while helping you develop the confidence and tools needed to create meaningful, lasting change.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a strong foundation for therapy. We'll talk about what brings you in, the challenges you're facing, what's most important to you, and what you hope to achieve. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive environment where you feel comfortable being open, while also helping you leave with a clearer understanding of where to begin and a plan that feels realistic and personalized. I want you to leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.
