Rachel Staley

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist|Clinically Supervised

I am a collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed therapist who empowers my clients to create safety in their mind, body, and soul by building self-compassion and self-trust. I believe in an individual’s inherent knowledge and resiliency, pulling from Narrative Therapy practices that teach us to rewrite the narratives that no longer serve us. I invite my clients to identify the effects of oppression and explore their responses and resources in the face of these challenges. I also encourage examining societal pressures and finding ways that authenticity and nonconformity can transform pressure into intention. I adapt my style of therapy for each individual, using supplemental therapies such as Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness techniques.

I consider myself an ally, dedicated to learning and building trust with clients from LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities.

My clients hold the key to their own healing. I have realized that my most impactful role as a therapist involves supporting my clients on their path of discovering (or rediscovering) their power, inner knowledge, and resiliency.
