Therapist

Virtual • Raleigh, NC


Hi, my name is Debbi Huntoon. I received a Master of Social Work degree from UNC- Chapel Hill. I am licensed by the states of North Carolina and Virginia as a clinical social worker. During graduate school internships I learned that my ability to help others depended on my willingness to help (change) myself. In the last 37 years I have engaged in my own treatment and have successfully served many clients in a variety of settings: all levels of education settings, inpatient and outpatient services for adult and pediatric patients, hospice, patients experiencing dementia and their families,and the state court system. We are all trying to cope with painful memories and experiences so that we can work, pay our bills, and care for our families.

Therapist

Warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative; that’s the energy I bring into my work.

I’m Rachael, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, based out of North Carolina. I earned both my Bachelor’s (2017) and Master’s (2019) in Social Work from Western Carolina University.

I’ve been helping individuals through their healing journey since 2019. I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected find their way back to feeling grounded and in control.

If you’re used to holding everything together on your own, therapy can be a space where you don’t have to anymore.
