Rachel Kusilek

Rachel (she/her) connects with clients from a place of acceptance using humor and warmth to make the therapeutic process collaborative and comfortable. Rachel takes a systemic perspective striving to understand how an individual’s difficulties and symptoms arise from their life experiences and relationships. She views the therapeutic process as a way to come alongside clients in an effort to improve their satisfaction with life and relationships.

Rachel specializes in helping individuals make transformational change through specialized trauma therapy techniques. Rachel uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Havening Techniques®, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Trauma-focused Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing to help clients quickly dive into past experiences that continue to interfere with present functioning. This is often intense work for a short period and leads to meaningful and lasting change. Rachel does this type of trauma work with children, adolescents, and adults. She has a special interest in using these techniques to help those who have experienced perinatal trauma.
