Rachel Primeau

Greetings! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and have worked with offenders, anger management clients, couples, teens and adults struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Through a strengths based approach, my clients learn more about themselves thus improving self-confidence, communication, mood and overall outlook on life. I love serving my teen, individual and couples clients via the Gallup strengths test. This test helps individuals understand where their energy is highest and what they value most. It's not about "strengths", but values. I believe one of the best things we can do for ourselves is take the time to truly understand ourselves as this helps us learn to communicate effectively, be productive, overcome procrastination and more. This is one tool of many I enjoy using to help my clients.

Having worked with individuals, teens and couples for the past 14 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I love using humor to break down walls and make everyone feel comfortable. I have a gift at helping my client(s) feel "seen" and understood.

I typically use a solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also offer Biblical counseling.

I strive to make every client feel comfortable right away. "I've heard it all" is a phrase I use often-there is no judgment here! Your goals are my goals. Unlike a friend, I won't always tell you what you want to hear; I am going to challenge you to help you reach your goal(s).

I often assign "homework". Don't worry, it's often simple coping skills or communication exercises we talked about during session.
