I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with about 13 years of experience in the counseling field. I graduated in 2010 from New York University with my MA in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness, and in 2008 from New York University with my BA in Psychology. I have experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have treated individuals with anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, and adjustment to changes. I have also provided healthcare counseling around chronic/debilitating illness and end-of-life planning. I am comfortable and experienced with providing therapy to a diverse population. My style is more eclectic when approaching therapy since it's important for me to tailor therapy to an individual's needs. I've been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My goal is to foster a therapeutic relationship where a person feels safe, not judged, and understood. My style is warm and I will take my time to understand what's going on for you, then work with you collaboratively to figure out how to address your issues. I am here to help support you through your challenges, so please feel free to reach out and we can start this journey together.

Life is filled with ebbs and flows of transitions and struggles. We are constantly evolving. Life can be both beautiful & messy and I'm humbled & honored to help you sort through it in individual and/or group counseling. Our minds & emotions uniquely shape our perception of reality. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. Yet we can also learn & gain from others' perspectives and support. One thing all humans universally experience is the capacity for joy and pain. You are not alone! I draw from an eclectic background of theoretical approaches, absorbing each day as a learning experience to more deeply understand human suffering and, more importantly, witness how resilient people can be. With 20+ years working in the helping profession, I've seen and heard a lot. I will listen without judgment to things that may be difficult to disclose. Do you want to resolve issues rooted in past or present wounds & break patterns that are no longer serving you? You are worthy of the opportunity to slow down, be still, reflect on, & process your mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual concerns. Now is the time to celebrate your potential. You've got this! You are not alone.

You can have peace and I am devoted to help you in the process. *At this time I am prioritizing new patient referrals to CHRISTIAN WOMEN. I am Rachel Anauo, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, licensed in the state of New York. I am also Ordained and Licensed as a Christian Minister. I had a dramatic conversion to following Christ in 1996. (Jesus means everything to me!) I am a widow, now over 50, and have experienced hardship in my life too, so I understand that life can be tough at times. I offer a blend where the professional clinical part of counseling and the spiritual growth and encouragement merge. I have special interests helping those in ministry, as well as adult women’s mental health care. I have 10+ years of counseling experience with dual disorders (mental health and substance abuse). Most of my experience has been within non-Christian programs, and this has frustrated me in the past to work with such limitations. I help people working through grief and loss, to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy in relationships. I am comfortable discussing sexual matters. I help those who struggle with anxiety and depression, boundaries, and self-esteem issues. I am glad to help people with a trauma history. And I like to provide education about various things that people are struggling with. I am fully aware that people often self-medicate with drugs and alcohol (and other destructive behaviors) and I am very experienced with helping people who are seeking recovery from this burden, but a higher level of care may be recommended if unlikely to succeed from online counseling. I am learning more about the challenges that women face in relationships in cycles of abuse, including narcissistic abuse dynamics, as this is very damaging to a person's confidence and understanding of what healthy relationships look like. I bring vast personal and professional experience to our work together. I draw upon Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Counseling techniques for my counseling style. Also, because life can get very heavy, I really enjoy using humor with those I work with when possible. I utilize the messaging feature regularly with those who choose to counsel with me and I check in with my clients often. I encourage all clients to utilize every resource available to them to get them where they want to be in life. I like to provide audio messages to my clients that may include a prayer for them, a Scripture that relates to their current needs, or even a Christian devotional reading that I believe would be helpful to their current life needs if they are agreeable. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
