  • Rachel Ellingson LICSW (they/them): Psychotherapist

    As a queer and nonbinary neurodivergent fat-identifying person, Rachel brings not only clinical experience but also lived experience in these areas. They specialize in working with queer and trans individuals, couples and polycules. Rachel is poly and kink friendly, and have extensive experience working with people who have experienced complex trauma, are exploring their identities, going through life transitions, and just trying to survive under capitalism.

    Rachel is social justice-oriented, trauma-informed, with a harm-reduction based, liberation health philosophy of care. Their style is eclectic, with foundations in relational, person-centered care, pulling from evidence based modalities including DBT, TF-CBT, and affirmative psychotherapy. In couples work, they utilize the Gottman Method.

    Rather than instructing people how to live their lives, Rachel views their clients as the experts in their own experience, and they are dedicated to supporting people to find the wisdom within themselves to meet their goals, navigate challenges, explore possibilities, and build and maintain healthy relationships.
