Background
Rachel's office
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Counseling and Masters in Psychology, both from the University of Missouri of St. Louis (CACREP approved for counselors in St. Louis). I am also a Missouri approved counseling supervisor. I have worked in private practice for 18 years with individuals, couples and teens, specializing in marriage crisis and enrichment, empowering men, women and teens to raise their self esteem, spirituality (all possibilities lay within us), overcoming fears and anxiety, and finding your purpose. I have led short-term personal growth groups for counseling students, long-term mind/body healing groups and have facilitated workshops for teens as well as parents of teens. Seminars ranging from stress to forgiveness, peace of mind to thriving as a woman, from listening skills to self esteem are among my favorites.
In addition to considering myself a full time student of ancient wisdom, I have training and expertise in meditation, forgiveness, addiction, guided imagery, writing/journal therapy, and supervision for counselors-in-training. I worked as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the UM-St. Louis Graduate Counseling Program for 6 years, teaching Theories of Counseling, Group Counseling, and Guided Practicum. I have published articles and a book chapter in the field of Counseling/Psychology. I have poems and stories published in magazines and anthologies as well as two books of poetry: Where the River Runs Wild and Come With Me.
