Rachel Barnette, MS

Driven by my personal experience with therapy's healing potential and a deep desire to help people, I became a therapist in order to support others to discover their own inner strength and resilience. My approach centers on fostering self-discovery, processing and building acceptance for challenging emotions, and cultivating self-compassion. I'm particularly adept at helping my clients to explore how past experiences impact their day to day lives and to forge a path to heal from these experiences in order to bring about lasting and positive change. 

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced various forms of trauma, specifically survivors of sexual abuse. I also work with individuals with a spectrum of diagnoses, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and complex grief. I am LGBT+ affirming and a proud member of the LGBT+ community myself. While I bring my own background, identity, experience and skills to the therapeutic relationship, I recognize that everyone is an expert on themselves. As such, I prioritize a collaborative and client-centered approach.

I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology, which provided me with a strong foundation in evidence-based therapeutic modalities. My training emphasized the importance of understanding the complexities of human experience and the impact of systemic factors on mental health. Since graduating, I have dedicated myself to working directly with clients, providing trauma-informed care and facilitating individual growth. I have consistently witnessed the power of therapeutic connection in fostering healing and empowerment, and I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their vulnerabilities and build a more fulfilling life.

Dr. Ashley Seiver, OTD, OTR/L

Everyone has things in life they want or need to do. As an occupational therapist, I believe that satisfaction stems from engaging in activities that align with one's values. Therefore, my work focuses on guiding individuals to engage in occupations they find meaningful; These could include adopting healthier lifestyle habits, enhancing organization skills, excelling in academic or professional settings, building social connections, managing stress, & more. Through a collaborative and conversation-based approach, I work with clients to identify goals, harness inner strengths, and overcome obstacles to making meaningful change.
 
I work with individuals seeking support in areas such as attention, motivation, sensory processing, relationship building, & time management. While I work with people of all ages, I have a particular passion for supporting college students and young professionals as they navigate the complexities of adulthood and discover their unique paths to fulfillment. I also work with parents and caregivers who are seeking support to raise resilient children, especially those navigating diagnoses like ADHD, Autism Spectrum, or other developmental or behavioral needs. 
 
My practice is guided by my doctoral work on motivation and prioritizes trauma processing to facilitate healing & engagement. I strive to create a warm environment where clients feel accepted & understood. Wherever you’re at on your journey, it would be my honor to help you to discover greater meaning and satisfaction in your life.
