Rachel Horace

Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and my work has been shaped by the diverse communities I’ve supported across various healthcare settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, and I take a warm, collaborative approach to care.

My goal is to create a safe, steady environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, build resilience, and work toward improving your emotional well-being. I’m committed to being a thoughtful, reliable partner in your mental health journey.

In our first session, we’ll take time to understand what brought you in and what you’re hoping to work toward. I’ll ask about your current symptoms, stressors, medical and mental health history, and any previous treatment you’ve tried. This helps me get a full picture of your needs so we can create a plan that feels supportive and manageable.

You can expect a calm, collaborative conversation not an interrogation. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. By the end of the session, we’ll discuss initial impressions, treatment options, and next steps so you leave with clarity and a sense of direction.

Clients can expect to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to manage their mental health. My focus is on helping you gain insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and build confidence in navigating challenges. I create a compassionate, steady environment where progress is tailored to your needs, comfort level, and personal goals.
