BlueWheel Counseling

Meet Rachel Wheeler, LMHCA

Hello, I'm Rachel (she/her), a compassionate licensed mental health counselor with a passion for multicultural experiences, art, nature, travel, and the transformative power of therapy. When I'm not in session, you can find me reading memoirs, listening to music, cooking, spending time with family, checking out the Pacific Northwest's cultural spaces, walking the dog, and navigating everyday life.

My background includes a variety of experiences supporting children, women, men, families, and law enforcement from culturally, spiritually, linguistically, and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, major life transitions, trauma, grief, and parenting. I am also an experienced professional school counselor and can support children and caregivers in navigating how to advocate for and support their child, especially in building self-esteem.

I value authenticity and genuine connection. My counseling approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in the understanding that past and current environments, relationships, and lived experiences shape our thoughts about ourselves, relationships, and how we navigate life's journey. I believe healing occurs through meaningful, supportive relationships, and that you are the expert in your own life. Therapy is a collaborative process shaped by your goals, values, and lived experiences.
