Therapy isn't the question,“So how do you feel about that?” To Rachel Stiff, therapy is about addressing the whole person, including their relationships, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As an experiential therapist with a systemic treatment view, she first focuses on the relationship with the client. We all want to be unconditionally accepted for who we are and the season of life we are in. Her collaborative approach helps clients to feel at ease as she helps to guide the changes people want to make in their life. She is excited to have the privilege of helping others in their journey.

Rachel has found that many times symptoms will decrease when relationships are healed. We are meant to live, not just merely exist.
Each person/family is unique, so therefore her approach is integrative, based on the needs presented. Rachel Stiff enjoys what she gets to do, and she is passionate about the healing and restoration of lives.
