Hi there!
My name is Rachel Portlock. I have been counseling for 6 years.

I'm open to finding the best approach you need to help you be the BEST you, you can be!
I can't wait to journey beside you and help you become the best you possible.

Rachel is very good at creating a judgment-free zone which allows you to express yourself without anxiety or fear. She is very attentive.

Rachel is amazing. She is not only a good listener but makes you feel comfortable to open up and get down to the issues and provides several suggestions on how to improve the situation. She also reaches out to check on you when you start to slide on the appointments showing that she truly cares for her patients. She is the best I have ever personally come across.

Rachel, in the short time I have been working with her, has given me such confidence and knowledge to live day by day! My stress and anxiety is at an all time low and honestly I feel like I am speaking to a friend! She truly listens and has such an open heart and mind to the things you need to share! She is a woman of God and that also brings me so much clarity!
