Rachel Dance, LCSW

Are you living the life you truly want?
What is the quality of your relationships?
How does it feel to be in your body?

These are some of the things I want to know. We’ll take stock of your life right now and explore ways in which your past has contributed to where you are today. From this information, we’ll clarify your goals and what is most important to you. We’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck and set up a plan to generate momentum for making the changes you want to see.

I don’t want to keep you in therapy forever. I value your time and want to expedite the process of your growth, so your life is more fulfilling and you are aligned with your purpose. I want you to feel at home in your body, at peace in your mind, and confident in the life you’re building.

Using IFS (Internal Family Systems), we will explore the intricate landscape of your inner world through what we call “parts work”. Imagine your emotions as distinct parts, or characters, each with their own feelings and desires. Through this creative approach, we will work together to understand and harmonize these inner voices, fostering self-compassion and uncovering the strength to face and overcome the impact of trauma.

I’m not going to lie to you; some moments won’t be easy. We’ll be traversing some difficult terrain as we explore your past and uncover old ways of thinking. And you’re not alone. I’ll be with you to navigate the new territory. Together we’ll work to build skills to calm your anxious mind, relax your body, and increase your ability to deal with uncertainty in a world that’s far from predictable.

I believe that you can step into a new way of being: where your mind is clear, your body is settled, and you’re living the life you have designed.
