Rachel Thompson, PhD

My clients describe me as:

Warm, funny, caring, and direct.

Something to know about my approach is:

I seek to establish a relationship that is safe and spontaneous so that you may take new interpersonal and emotional risks to improve your life. This may take on a more or less structured approach that we will decide on together based on your goals.

Together, we will:

Promote your understanding of self in context, build respect and insight into feelings, move through pain more flexibly, and find effective actions forward to heal emotional trauma and manage life difficulties.

I specialize in working with people who:

want to break free from anxious ways of being, build emotional resilience, recover from trauma, or manage dually diagnosed mental health and substance use problems.

I became a therapist because:

I get energy from being around others and value social service. I want to deepen our capacity to live more freely and fully.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Conveniently located in Mt. Auburn between Christ Hospital and University of Cincinnati, just minutes from downtown. Free parking behind building.
