 Rachel (she/her) received her graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Franciscan University in 2015; she is independently licensed in both Ohio and West Virginia and provides clinical supervision to several therapists within OHVC. Throughout her career, Rachel has enjoyed working with and getting to know folks from all different walks of life. While she primarily provides treatment to adults, Rachel occasionally extends treatment to older adolescents on a case-by-case basis. She has experience in diagnosing and treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, grief and more. Rachel believes one of her best skills is establishing a strong relationship with each client; this relationship sets a foundation of trust that allows clients to feel safe and understood, which is essential in therapy. You can expect an eclectic approach regarding your treatment, as therapy is not a one size fits all experience; this extends to viewing individuals from a holistic perspective—including physical, somatic, emotional, spiritual, and relational domains. Outside of therapy work, Rachel is most likely to be found binging podcasts or obnoxious reality TV, trying new foods and restaurants, or spending time with her friends, family, and 2 dogs.

Rebecca enjoys working with clients of all ages but does have a passion for working with children and adolescents as they navigate through emotional, behavioral, and/or social issues which may arise as they journey towards young adulthood. She is excited to continue learning and to grow her scope of practice.  Rebecca is dependently licensed in the state of Ohio, West Virginia and is under supervision. In her free time Rebecca loves spending time outdoors, going to concerts and hanging out with her family and friends
