"Emotions are lovely. Even if they fall to the negative for a time. The sun will rise again another day. The sadness perhaps never forgotten, but a new day enjoyed in another way. A way that could not have been but for the sadness's existence."
Anne Mallory
I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE.

Are you wondering how or when to take the next step in your life? You don't have to do it alone. I believe that the answers to many of life's problems lie within ourselves, and that it is my job to help you find them. In our work together, we will build a foundation of trust and incorporate multiple modalities in designing your treatment plan. I am available for in person counseling for at my office in Lacey, Washington. In addition, and if appropriate, I can provide therapy via telehealth for anyone living in Washington State.
I am a person centered therapist and my style is relaxed and solution focused. We will laugh, and you will probably cry, but you will feel better. I value authenticity, balance, and security and try to infuse therapy sessions with those values. I work with individuals age 13 and up who are have experienced trauma, anxiety, ADHD, or who are struggling to navigate their life path. I also have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community and specifically with transgender folks who are navigating both the coming out and transition process.
It is essential to find a therapist who is a good fit. If you are interested in working with me please contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation.

ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Rachel Freer. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Saint Martin's University and my BA from the Evergreen State College. I am mom to a teenager who was homeschooled until middle school. I understand the need for and am supportive of a non-traditional educational path.
​
My training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) and Financial Therapy, as well as certification in Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Relationships (STAIR). I am currently working on a Certificate in Eating Disorders at Lewis and Clark College.
​
In my free time I enjoy attending musicals and concerts. I have an extensive collection of vinyl records, crystals, and houseplants. I love a good rainy PNW day - it's a great excuse to curl up on the couch with a cup of coffee and my current knitting project. On non-rainy days you will find me in the garden or sitting outside with a good book.
