Miss Rachel treats you like a Human. She challenged my limiting beliefs and empowered me to be proud of small victories. I appreciate her open mind and don't feel judge when sharing in sessions. I am comfortable enough to share things that bother me about myself and the world. I feel more informed and empowered because I have tools now to self regulate but also understand the source of the feelings.
