Rachael Funk
I am an energetic, humorous, passionate, mother of 2 with 20+ years experience in helping people with mental health struggles. I use an eclectic approach including CBT and mindfulness to help clients deal with symptoms of depression of anxiety. Yoga and reading are two of my most favorite activities.
With many years of experience working with people with all sorts of trauma and struggles in life I have become really good at helping people find joy and hope in even the darkest parts of life.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I am most passionate about helping those in the community.
First session
In our first session I would gather some preliminary information, do a brief introduction and give you the opportunity to describe what is troubling you the most. From there, we can start working on a plan to help you feel better.
Strengths
With many years of experience working with people with all sorts of trauma and struggles in life I have become really good at helping people find joy and hope in even the darkest parts of life. The use of humor and compassion are my greatest strengths.
Ideal clients
I love working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma and would like to learn how to experience more joy and peace in their lives. I love helping those manage the issues that arise from being a part of the queer community.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I use a variety of treatment methods and like to tailor my therapy to individual clients based on their needs.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Identifying negative thought patterns and cognitive distortions is an integral part of my practice. Positive reframing can be a life changer.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness and meditation are practices that I love to teach and encourage clients to try. In a chaotic and stressful world, learning to stay in the present moment and ground oneself can be very helpful.
