Rachel Loomis, M. Ed., LPC

Rachel believes therapy is most helpful when you feel comfortable enough to show up as your full, honest self without fear of judgment. Her goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.

She works primarily with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and substance use concerns, as well as those impacted by difficult or overwhelming experiences. This includes both individuals struggling with their own relationship with substances and those affected by a loved one’s use. She understands how complex, isolating, and often overwhelming these experiences can feel, and she strives to create a space where you don’t have to carry that alone.

Rachel’s clinical experience began in community mental health, where she worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns and life circumstances. She also completed an internship in a jail setting, which deepened her understanding of trauma, systemic stressors, and the resilience people carry even in the most difficult environments. These experiences shape her ability to meet clients with compassion, flexibility, and a nonjudgmental perspective.

She also has a strong interest in working with individuals navigating academic and transitional phases of life, including college students and those adjusting to post-college life. She understands the pressure, uncertainty, and identity shifts that can come with these stages, and she enjoys helping clients find clarity and a sense of direction during times of change.

Rachel takes an acceptance-based approach, which means you won’t focus on eliminating or “fixing” emotions, but instead on better understanding them, making space for them, and responding in ways that align with the life you want to build.
