Licensed Professional Counselor, SC

About Rachel

Rachel is a Licensed Professional Counselor at Balanced Wellness, providing in-person services in the Ridgeland, South Carolina office and virtual therapy to clients across the state of South Carolina. She is passionate about supporting clients through some of life’s most vulnerable and transformative seasons, with a particular focus on perinatal mental health and trauma-informed care.

Ideal Client

Rachel enjoys working with the perinatal population, including individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood or parenthood. She also works with caregivers adjusting to new roles, as well as young adults and adults experiencing significant life transitions.

Her ideal clients may be experiencing trauma-related stress or PTSD symptoms, increased anxiety, depressive symptoms, or emotional overwhelm. Some may be struggling to process a traumatic birth experience, difficulties adjusting to pregnancy or postpartum life, or past trauma that feels confusing or hard to manage. Rachel is especially well-suited to clients who are seeking compassionate, trauma-informed support and are unsure where to begin.

Therapeutic Approach

Rachel’s work is grounded in a trauma-informed framework, with a strong emphasis on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). She is trained in EMDR and she integrates this approach to help clients safely process and heal from traumatic experiences.

In addition to EMDR, Rachel draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. She tailors treatment to each client’s needs, offering a supportive, collaborative space where clients can build insight, emotional regulation skills, and a greater sense of stability.
