Rachel Yost

I earned both my Master of Arts in Education (M.A.Ed.) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and my bachelor's degree from Malone University. I am currently a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisor Designation (LPCC-S) and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) in the state of Ohio.

​

Before opening my private practice, I worked at a nonprofit community behavioral health agency from 2020-2025. During that time, I provided counseling across a variety of settings including residential substance use treatment for men and women, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and outpatient mental health services. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults facing a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns.

​

After the birth of my first child, I made the decision to start my own telehealth practice. This transition has allowed me to continue providing high-quality, compassionate care while maintaining a sustainable work-life balance.

​

Outside of counseling, I enjoy hiking, camping, running marathons, thrift shopping, and home renovation projects. Most of all, I value spending time with my husband, our son, our church community, and other family and friends who enrich our lives.

I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel genuinely seen, supported, and challenged in a positive way, and I strive to bring that approach to every counseling relationship. My aim is to understand what makes you who you are, then gently challenge you as we work together to help you become the best possible version of yourself.

I'll be asking you a lot of questions during our first session together but don't worry - not all sessions will feel so much like an interview! The purpose of the first session is for me to learn as much as I can about you in order to determine the course of future treatment. After we have that foundation built, we can spend our session time discussing whatever is important and relevant to you that day.
