Rachel Steinhardt, LMHC

Why Rachel Steinhardt, LMHC chose to be in the helping profession

I have always had a passion for making meaning from painful and difficult experiences and obstacles, whether it be other's or my own. Growing up, I realized that life has many paths we can take and that our life is what we make of the hand we have been dealt. I knew I wanted to empower people to live their life to the fullest and take control of their happiness with whatever struggles they may carry. I had a great way of connecting with people and making them feel heard and cared for. Therapy was the perfect fit for me. Since I was young, I would sit and listen and support others as they felt comfortable sharing personal things with me and I always felt privileged to be able to offer love, support and guidance in a nonjudgmental way. Seeing the work that I have done with others creating healing, positivity and meaningful change...it's not a job, it's a life mission. I want to help you help yourself and find the serenity in your life that you deserve.

Rachel Steinhardt, LMHC's approach

I truly believe in a not one size fits all approach to therapy. I believe each person has a unique experience with individualized needs and I do my best to customize my care and tailor it to the client in front of me. That being said, I utilize CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic therapy and Psychoeducation alongside other tools and techniques I derive from other theories when deemed appropriate.

What you can expect from sessions with Rachel Steinhardt, LMHC

You will feel safe, supported and know that I genuinely care and want to help you. With that said, I like to be direct, to the point and always leave you with something tangible to work on. We will laugh together, cry together and I will be your biggest cheerleader through it all. It won't be easy but it will be worth it.
