Rachelle holds a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She also completed an EMDRIA approved EMDR Training Course in April of 2021. Her skillset has been molded in a domestic violence shelter for women, college counseling center, medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health services for individuals of all ages and struggles.

 

Rachelle takes a modern, holistic, interpersonal approach, incorporating elements and techniques from different theories depending on the person, situation, needs and desires of the client. Her main interventions, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and IFS, are tailored to address any and all struggles. She offers a calm, safe space for people to explore their deepest pains, where she helps normalize and validate all human emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This ultimately assists in strengthening more adaptive neural pathways in the brain. Her clients know they've reached their goals when they no longer rely on maladaptive behaviors and notice a decrease in emotional distress.

Hi! I’m Samantha!

 

I have 9 years' experience in various roles within the health care field as a volunteer, EMT, Care Team Coordinator, and as an AAMA certified Medical Assistant. I have been with Astia Health since March 2022.

 

My life experiences both professionally and personally have provided me with a strong desire to further my advocacy for individuals and their mental health, with a favorable focus on substance and alcohol abuse recovery. 

 

I am both humbled and honored to be given the opportunity to start my journey with Brain Energy as Clinical Coordinator, while being supported as I continue my education to earn my degree in Human Services-substance use disorder counseling. 

 

I look forward to growing professionally and personally with the guidance of my mentors, furthering my education, and developing my practice to incorporate a holistic, modern, and sustainable approach to provide optimal success in individuals becoming their best, happiest, healthiest selves.
