Rachelle Chevalier
Hello, My name is Rachelle Rose Chevalier and I have been practicing therapy for 10 years. I work with clients from adolescent to adulthood and with varying topics and challenges that might present themselves.
One of the greatest strengths I bring to my sessions is the depth of life experience I carry, both personally and through walking alongside others in some of their most difficult moments.
I like to think of therapy as an adventure, one that can appear arduous, moves at different speeds, has different agendas and at times has little or big unknowns that sprout up, all as a result of working through where you have been while working on what you would like to create. During this adventure I will be here to journey with you and to watch as you embrace healing and life unfolds in entirely new ways for you!
First session
In our first session, we'll explore your history, current circumstances, strengths, and the challenges bringing you to therapy through a bio-psychosocial assessment. We'll identify the concerns and symptoms you're experiencing and begin co-creating a treatment plan that reflects your individual needs and goals. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, validated, and truly witnessed, with a clearer understanding of what you're navigating and a plan of action that feels realistic and manageable. You don't have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. We'll begin where you are and work together from there.
Strengths
One of the greatest strengths I bring to my sessions is the depth of life experience I carry, both personally and through walking alongside others in some of their most difficult moments. These experiences have shaped my ability to meet people with genuine empathy, curiosity, and without judgement. There isn't much that scares me, and I strive to create a space where you can show up as your whole self, even the parts that feel difficult to share. I'm passionate about understanding the why behind what we do, including generational patterns, attachment styles, and unconscious interactions that influence how we navigate relationships and experience the world. As a yoga teacher with a background in somatic practices, I also incorporate mindfulness, breath work, and meditation when appropriate, recognizing that healing involves more than the mind. It involves the whole self. Your goals are my goals. I bring compassion, honesty, and a willingness to sit with you through the uncomfortable emotions, helping you explore, understand, and move through them all at your own pace. My intention is to walk along side you as you develop greater self-awareness, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Ideal clients
I don't believe in limiting myself to an ideal client because every person is unique, and I value the opportunity to learn who they are beyond their struggles. I approach each client with curiosity, openness, and a genuine desire to understand their individual experiences, strengths, values, and goals. Together, we develop a therapeutic approach that honors who you are and supports your vision of living your best life. I believe some of the most meaningful work happens when we remain open to the person in front of us rather than placing them in a predetermined box. Limiting who I work with could mean missing out on some incredible opportunities for growth, connection and healing.
Treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
My primary approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy(EFT), as I value its emphasis on attachment, emotional connection, and understanding the patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, integrating multiple evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment based interventions. I believe therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me, so I tailor our work to your individual needs, strengths, values, and goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
