Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel Hasper

I love what I do and I know how the help of a therapist or coach can change the trajectory of your life, or at the very least, make your days feel better. I run a small-scale, client-centered practice so that I’m able to bring my very best to the people I serve. 

My therapeutic style is compassionate, inclusive, and trauma sensitive.

I’m a lifelong student and more skillful clinician because of my dedication to learning. I have a Doctorate degree in Clincal Psychology, am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Life Coach, and Restorative Yoga Teacher (see my education and credentials here).

I’ve spent the past twenty years helping people through struggle and suffering. I have training in cognitive behavioral therapies, but I know that if feeling better were as simple as changing a thought or behavior, most of us wouldn’t need help. While I still pay attention to how you think, feel, and behave, I’m also listening for the ways relationships, role expectations, environments, identities, and lived experiences contribute to your challenges.

It’s my job to get to the root of what’s causing your suffering and give you the tools you need to heal, cope, or change.

Grounded in mind-body medicine, my approach to healing addresses all parts of the self. The mind and body are deeply interconnected—and so is everything that touches our lives. True well-being is bound up in our lived experience, adversities, and past trauma, our relationships and family histories, the realities of chronic stress, anxiety, or illness, and the work and environments we navigate daily. Because these elements are inseparable, my practice holds space for all of them.

I incorporate compassion focused therapy, somatic psychology, internal family systems, and principles from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and polyvagal theory. I’m both trauma-informed and neurodivergence-informed. I’m also trained in EMDR, an approach that works with our thoughts, feelings, sensations, images, and memories to cultivate relief and well-being.

I recognize that the work of healing, growing, and changing is so much more than a set of therapeutic techniques. And I believe trauma and cultural sensitivity are imperative in therapy, because every individual has their own lived experience, identities, and worldview. Because of that, my work is holistic and person-centered; my focus is both on your long term goals as well as being attuned to your immediate needs.

Please reach out to talk with me about how I can help.
