My Approach
My Approach
- I believe that most people are naturally inclined toward growth. We move toward self-actualization when settings are right.
- I strongly believe that there is a solution to every problem. We sometimes need to step out of our comfort zone to reach the solution.
- I believe that fear is the most common obstacle we face.
- Anxiety, depression, poor esteem, poor relations, and other forms of mental distress result when we allow fear to reign.
- I believe that everyone has unique strengths and talents.
- I work with my clients to identify strengths and overcome obstacles and fear.

MS, LPC-IT
My Approach
My Approach
I believe Mental and Emotional Health is just as important as your physical health and well being. The mind and body possess a natural gravitation toward health and balance. We can collaborate to assist mind and body along the path to healing and well-being.
Therapy is a safe place in which I work eclectically to suit the needs of the individual. A key component to my practice is developing an authentic, collaborative, comfortable and compassionate therapeutic relationship, showing genuine respect and unconditional positive regard for all clients.
I believe that my role as a therapist is that of a collaborative thought partner who can foster growth. I work to empower my clients with help, healing, and hope as they learn to make positive life choices and changes unique to their individual needs.
My professional journey has allowed me the opportunity to work with clients across the lifespan, facing many different life challenges and situations.
My primary approach to counseling is an integration of strength-centered, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies and interventions.
In essence, this integrative counseling approach strives to balance an empathic and genuine relationship with the client, fostering a collaborative effort at identifying what changes a client can make to minimize emotional and behavioral disturbances.
I will assist you in exploring the past, creating peace in the present and feeling hope for your future. Issues that clients address in counseling include personal, emotional, professional, and relationship issues, among many others.
Embarking on a counseling journey is a brave undertaking that may challenge you at times. When you embrace the process of healing despite your life experiences, you don't just become who you might have been if you hadn't encountered suffering in the first place.
You gain something better—the hard-earned gift of life wisdom , which allows you to develop deeper empathy , seek more intimacy , value life's sweeter moments, and treasure your connectedness to others and to the world at large.
This is the hard-won benefit of having known suffering. My goal is to help individuals reach their highest potential and to help families live more harmonious and happier lives together.
I look forward to hearing your life story as I work to empower you to make the changes necessary that direct you toward the life you desire.

My Approach
My Approach
My variety of work experience has given me a special look into the lives of those who grow up with emotional and behavioral needs. My current work has gravitated towards preventative care with children and adolescents to provide them with the chance to have a better quality of life.
This work also includes assisting all caregivers with the necessary changes required to provide a nurturing environment to allow the child to develop in a healthy way.
The work I do is done in real time, in real situations. I try and find scenarios that are applicable to the family or child to work within. This hands-on experience allows them to apply the therapeutic lessons they are developing in real time.
Learning how to get the most out of each experience has shown to be beneficial not only to the clients I work with, but also to me.

MS, LPC, SASA
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Rachel Unseth is a Licensed Professional Counselor with Substance Abuse Specialty Authorization in WI.
Philosophy & Approach
Philosophy & Approach
My counseling and therapy philosophy is influenced by some of the greats including:
- Carl Rogers Client-Centered Therapy and On Becoming a Person
- Irvin Yalom The Gift of Therapy and Existential Psychotherapy
- Bessel van der Kolk The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
- Gabor Mate In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
- Brene Brown The Gifts of Imperfection and Braving the Wilderness
As a counselor and therapist, I believe that my job is to provide a safe environment with a foundation based in genuineness, acceptance, and empathy. I see myself as a mirror and a tool of sorts to help you heal, grow, and move forward.
I also believe that mindfulness, meditation, and/or breathwork are all essential elements of healing. I encourage concurrent bodywork to support your recovery efforts such as yoga, massage, acupuncture, exercise, somatics, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, etc. Regarding drug and alcohol issues, I will see anyone who needs an assessment, is mandated by the courts or probation, currently struggling, sober, or in recovery.
I support 12 step groups and SMART recovery, however most of all I believe in the spiritual principles of recovery which include honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, humility/being humble, love and compassion for others, self-discipline, perseverance, spirituality, and service. Two things I firmly believe in are 1) The opposite of addiction is connection and 2) How it works is Honesty, Openness, and Willingness.
Some other theories and techniques I integrate into my practice are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Tapping and Emotional Freedom Techniques, Polyvagal Theory, integration of 12 step models, and other trauma sensitive interventions.
I am interested in pursuing training in EMDR and Gottman Method Couples Therapy in the upcoming years.
