Dr. Rachel Parrish-Martin

I have dual licensure as a LPC in Texas and as a LCMHC in NC. I work primarily with adults, couples, and adolescents (ages 13 and up). I have been working as a therapist since 2021. I obtained a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision in 2023. My research interests have focused on treatments for trauma, PTSD, interpersonal violence, fear, shame, and associated disorders like depression and anxiety. I am also a licensed school counselor in Tennessee and have over 30 years of experience working with youth in various roles in the schools, youth ministry, and clinical mental health.

I work primarily from a Process-Experiential perspective which integrates Attachment, Person-centered, Gestalt, and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies. I also utilize Mindfulness-Based approaches. I have training in Polyvagal Theory, Flash, EMDR, and Creative Arts Personal Growth for overcoming fear and shame.

I aim to provide a psychologically safe environment where clients can experience and repair trust, safety, and healthy attachment and growth through Rogerian empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard.
