Hello, I'm Rachel, and look forward to meeting you! I am happy to be working with Grow where I hope to offer a sense of focus, consistency, and utilize my strengths to support you. I hope to guide you beyond a short-term sense of comfort, into a deeper space of peace. If you need to work through something, but could use a little more support to get there, it is easier to face with someone there. I accept people from all beliefs and cultures, so there are no expectations about this. I offer regular talk therapy and tailor it to each individual. You may request spiritual integration in your sessions if desired. I am a committed Christian, but we do not have to have the same faith. For all clients, I aim to provide a safe space to help strengthen your overall wellness. This includes non-judgmental care and respect for whatever situation you are in. If you have suffered spiritual abuse, you are welcome here.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Indiana. I obtained my master’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan University, and I have over 10 years of experience in the social services and mental health fields. I believe in the quiet strength we all carry—especially when life has pushed us to the edge. I’ve spent years walking beside individuals as they navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, stress, and moments that feel like too much. I create a space where people feel safe enough to bend, process, release—and strong enough to bounce back and rise. You won’t find judgment here. Just presence, compassion, and a steady guide through the work of healing. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, I meet you where you are—and we walk forward, one step at a time.

I am a culturally competent, nonjudgmental Asian therapist with several years of clinical experience. As a military spouse, I understand the unique stressors that come with transitions, uncertainty, and resilience. My work primarily focuses on trauma, and I draw from evidence-based approaches to support meaningful, lasting change. I previously worked with children and adolescents and, over the past years, have shifted my focus to adults and couples, while continuing to see teen clients. I genuinely value this work and find deep meaning in supporting clients through healing and growth.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Indiana rather than a city like Indianapolis?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Indiana from Fort Wayne to Evansville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Indiana.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
