Rachel Sullivan, LPC

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when life already feels overwhelming or uncertain. Whether you’re navigating a tough transition, carrying the weight of unresolved experiences, or just trying to feel a little more like yourself again, therapy can be a space to reflect, reset, and move forward. My goal is to offer a welcoming, supportive environment where you can feel safe exploring what’s going on beneath the surface—without judgment, and always at your pace.I’m Rachel (she/her), a licensed professional counselor who brings a warm, bubbly, and down-to-earth presence to therapy. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are ready to explore who they are, what they’ve been through, and where they want to go next. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, navigating gender identity, managing ADHD or mood disorders, or simply feeling stuck in your relationships or life path—I’m here to walk with you through it. My style is friendly, validating, and collaborative. I’ll always meet you where you are, but I’m also not afraid to offer a gentle nudge when it’s needed.In our work together, I want you to feel both supported and empowered. You bring your experiences, your insights, and your expertise on yourself—and I bring clinical tools, compassionate curiosity, and a genuine belief in your capacity to heal and grow. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical BehaviorTherapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Attachment-based work, Internal Family Systems (IFS),and mindfulness. This means we can focus on building practical coping skills, improving emotional regulation, deepening self-awareness, and understanding how your past impacts your present.I specialize in working with clients navigating trauma, dissociative disorders, anxiety, self-harm behaviors, life and career transitions, women’s issues, LGBTQ+ and exploring gender identity, relationship patterns, and intuitive eating. I’m especially passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves after long periods of feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or emotionally overwhelmed. Together, we can untangle what’s been holding you back and develop strategies to help you feel more grounded, present, and empowered in your daily life.Therapy with me is relational, flexible, and deeply collaborative. We’ll talk about hard things, yes—but we’ll also laugh, celebrate growth, and learn how to hold space for the complexity of being human. You can expect sessions that feel both grounding and practical—where insight, humor, and skill-building live side by side. My hope is that you walk away from each session feeling seen, heard, and a little more in tune with yourself.Before we begin, the most important thing to know is that I see us as a team. Your voice, your experience, and your needs matter just as much as the clinical tools I bring to the table. If you’re ready to explore what healing and growth might look like for you, I’d be honored to support you along the way.
