Rachel Ashford
As a dedicated and compassionate therapist, I am here to support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth. With a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Washington University in St. Louis and over 14 years of experience, I am deeply committed to helping individuals overcome the challenges they face, especially those related to trauma exposure.
My Approach:
I have a profound passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma. I understand that trauma can leave deep emotional scars, impacting one's mental and emotional well-being. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to helping you find healing and resilience.
I specialize in two evidence-based therapeutic modalities: Brainspotting and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These modalities are highly effective in treating trauma, as they help individuals process and heal from distressing experiences. Brainspotting and EMDR are powerful tools that can promote emotional healing, improve self-awareness, and ultimately, lead to a brighter and more hopeful future.
Why Choose Me:
My extensive experience in the field of social work has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the challenges people face and the resilience they possess. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I am dedicated to fostering a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration.
My mission is to empower you to regain control over your life and guide you towards personal growth and transformation. Whether you are grappling with past traumas, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties, I am here to provide the guidance and support you need.
Your Journey to Healing Begins Here:
Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting, but it is a courageous and empowering choice. I am here to walk alongside you on your path to healing and self-discovery. You don't have to face your challenges alone.
If you are ready to embark on a journey of healing, growth, and self-empowerment, please feel free to reach out to me. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
