Grief counselors and therapists in Asheville, NC

It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, mood and personality disorders, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and encouraging. I provide support as you examine core issues and change underlying patterns of behavior or simply gain perspective concerning a recent issue.

About Me

I'm not your typical psychotherapist, and everyone I've had the honor to work with on their life's journey can attest to this. Born, raised and forged in the "Steel City" and sharpened in the "City of Brotherly Love", the term "Alchemist" more accurately describes who I am. I specialize in alchemizing pain into purpose and trauma into triumph. If you're ready to transform your life, I'm your guy!

I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety. depression, trauma, and disconnect in their relationships. I am a trauma focused clinician and work to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey.

I've been practicing in the mental health field for more than 4 years now. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and love using it with many different clients. I've found that DBT has also helped me on a personal level.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker who helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where healing and growth can take place. I believe that emotional and financial health are deeply connected, and I help clients build healthier relationships with both themselves and their money. My approach is compassionate, practical, and rooted in empowerment and self-awareness.

I believe healing happens through connection. I work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to understand the roots of their struggles, develop healthier coping skills, and build a life of balance and purpose. I bring authenticity, insight, and gentle honesty into my sessions.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My expertise includes trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavior management, family conflict, life transitions, and relationship issues through a predominantly Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach. As a queer female, I especially enjoy working with the LGBTQIA+ community.

I specialize in treating trauma, with extensive training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy to treat youth and Cognitive Processing Therapy for adults.

Hi, I’m Rachel — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting people as they navigate life’s complexities and transitions. My work centers on helping individuals explore identity, heal from trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, LGBTQIA+ clients, pregnant and postpartum people, and those from culturally diverse and immigrant backgrounds. Together, we can unpack the ways family dynamics, culture, and personal history shape your story — and create space for new, empowering narratives to emerge.
