Rachel Hanstein (She/Her)

My focus is on creating a safe, affirming space where clients can freely express themselves and feel understood. With compassionate listening and effective coping strategies, I help individuals build resilience and self-esteem. My goal is to empower clients to embrace their authentic selves and confidently navigate life’s complexities. My approach is rooted in compassion and active listening, ensuring that you feel heard and understood. Together, we can work towards building resilience, fostering self-acceptance, and finding strategies to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're seeking to discuss specific concerns or just want someone to talk to, I'm here to support you on your journey!

I am passionate about advocating for the rights and well-being of LGBTQIA+ individuals, women, and people of color (POC). My commitment to these causes stems from a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities. Through empathetic listening and culturally informed counseling, I strive to create safe spaces where individuals can express their identities and experiences without fear of judgment. I actively engage in ongoing education about intersectionality, recognizing how race, gender, and sexuality intersect to shape personal narratives. By fostering inclusivity and advocating for equitable access to mental health resources, I empower my clients to navigate their journeys toward self-acceptance and resilience. In every session, I champion social justice, working to dismantle systemic barriers and promote advocacy that uplifts voices often silenced. Together, we can cultivate a more equitable society, affirming the dignity and rights of every individual.
