Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

You don't have to keep carrying the weight of what happened to you. Healing is possible.

Hi, I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences.

Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted. They've spent years trying to push through painful memories, quiet their anxiety, or make sense of experiences that continue to affect their relationships, confidence, sleep, or ability to feel like themselves. Some have tried therapy before but still feel stuck. Others have never talked about what happened because it simply felt too overwhelming.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone.

As a therapist trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART®), I offer an evidence-based approach that can help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories—often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. One of the things many clients appreciate most about ART® is that you don't have to describe every painful detail of your trauma to experience meaningful healing. Together, we'll work toward helping you feel less overwhelmed by the past so you can be more present in your life today.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing can happen at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Imagine waking up without constantly feeling on edge. Imagine memories no longer having the same emotional grip on you. Imagine feeling more like yourself again. That kind of change is possible, and it would be an honor to help you get there.

If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I'd love to walk alongside you.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Louisville

Finding addiction therapists in Louisville starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs. Addiction counseling can support people with concerns related to alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and changes in sobriety. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their goals and clinical needs.

Louisville has a range of therapists across local neighborhoods, nearby suburbs, and virtual care options, so it helps to narrow your search with both clinical and practical factors in mind. Recovery can involve changes over time, so look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental approach and experience with addiction recovery, alcohol counseling, or substance use counseling. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about care, what approaches they use, and whether their style fits what you want from therapy.

Therapy in Louisville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details to check coverage and estimated costs for your specific plan. You can review therapist profiles, check estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
