About Rachel EtsHokin (She/Her)

Life can be tough, and sometimes it helps to have someone in your corner. I work with teens, adults, and older adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, substance use, life changes, or just feeling stuck.

My style is warm, supportive, and practical. I believe in meeting people where they’re at and creating a space where you can show up as yourself without fear or judgment. I take a trauma-informed approach to care and utilize harm reduction when supporting individuals with substance use concerns. I draw from approaches like CBT, DBT, and ACT, but I focus less on labels and techniques and more on finding tools and strategies that work for you.

Together, we’ll work to better understand patterns, build healthier coping skills, and make changes that feel realistic and meaningful. And while we’ll tackle the hard stuff, I believe moments of humor can be just as valuable as moments of insight. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more confident in handling life’s challenges,
