​

Rachel Maldonado is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate who works with adolescents (12+) and adults, as well as couples and families.  She enjoys helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

​

Rachel believes meaningful change happens in the context of a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship, where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences.  Her goal is to help clients gain deeper insight into themselves, strengthen their sense of self, and build the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.  She strives to create a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves—humor and authenticity are always welcome in the therapy room.

​

Rachel utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).  She also incorporates client-centered, Adlerian, and trauma-informed perspectives to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals.  Rachel is EMDR trained and has completed specialized training in Child Sexual Abuse and Youth Counseling (CSAYC).

 

Rachel earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University and is passionate about helping clients heal from past experiences, strengthen relationships, and move toward lives that feel more meaningful and fulfilling.
