Hi, I’m Rachael (she/they). I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in the state of South Carolina and the owner of HeartSpace Counseling.

I’ve been in the mental health field for 6 years. I possess a Bachelor’s degree in Biology & Psychology and a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling. I have experience both in the inpatient and outpatient world, working with a variety of conditions and ages anywhere between 3 and 80. I am a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and have spent the last 4 years utilizing mindfulness practices in group and in individual therapies. I’m primarily trained as a person-centered and ACT (acceptance and commitment) therapist, but my style can look quite eclectic when in practice. My personal interests include painting, concerts, exploring new places, & being in nature in whatever form possible.

One of my favorite parts about this work is when clients realize that they don’t have to be so hard on themselves. The bulk of the work is really opening up and softening to even the scariest, deepest parts of oneself. It really is a brave, profound venture to try therapy. I hope you are able to find a similar experience in our work together.
