Rachel Donmoyer
Rachel has known since her teenage years that providing therapy was her calling. Naturally empathetic, she has a deep passion for hearing people’s stories and forming meaningful connections with others. Her experience spans a variety of settings, including inpatient, supportive housing, partial care, in-home services, and traditional outpatient therapy. Rachel has worked with children, adolescents, and adults, addressing a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, existential concerns, parenting, and prenatal and postpartum mental health.
When I helped my client identify that her difficulty in leaving a dysfunctional relationship was due to both her tendency to rescue others from their feelings, as well as her fear uncertainty, we we were able to move towards more meaningful and fulfilling relationships.
I go at the clients pace. I allow the client to lead the conversation and I will gently direct the client to their treatment goals as necessary. I will not judge the process nor the progress that the client experiences, and I will gently explore a mismatch between the client's behaviors and values. I am all about growth, knowledge, and empowerment.
The first session is a no pressure zone. I am just getting to know myclient. By completing an intake form, we will explore many areas of your life and give you the opportunity to elaborate on certain areas if desired. This is a time to build our relationship together!
I, like everyone, am a human being with a wide range of emotions, feelings, and thoughts. I like to connect with other people, it brings me joy and fulfillment. I like to normalize a clients experience in order to reduce shame and improve self esteem. I love the work that I do and I get the most satisfaction when a client can connect with me, feel safe in the space, and find the hope and motivation to live the life they want and deserve.
