Rachelle Burrell, MSW, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

My clients have said that they feel comfortable sharing with me and have described me as "wise", "genuine," "affirming", "warm" and "down to earth".

Something to know about my approach is:

I am a professional listener and secret keeper (unless safety is a concern). I seek to first listen and understand by inviting clients to tell their story. I then work collaboratively with clients to establish goals and a course of action.

Together, we will:

Discuss underlying causes of problem, such as faulty thinking, shame, guilt, poor self-esteem, unresolved grief, difficulty adjusting to illness, and family of origin issues We will discuss challenges as well as hopes and a path forward.

I specialize in working with people who:

are adapting to a new diagnosis or chronic illness as well as individuals dealing with death and dying. This includes treatment of the anxiety and depression that often accompanies those issues. My clients are motivated for change.

I became a therapist because:

I truly enjoy people and enjoy learning from others as well as empowering others, imparting hope and seeing people flourish.
