Hi! I’m Rachele Epp, and I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or trauma, and your world feels like it’s closing in, you’re not alone. Life can sometimes feel like an endless cycle of worry and fear, making it hard to get through the day and leaving you feeling isolated. But there is hope. You don’t have to stay stuck or face this on your own.
With over 30 years of counseling experience, I’m here to guide you on a journey toward growth and transformation. My goal is to help you overcome paralyzing fear, low self-confidence, and the grip of painful memories so that you can find the inner peace and confidence you deserve. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your challenges and develop long-lasting strategies for change.
My approach to therapy is very personalized, based on your unique needs and goals. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist™ with specialized training in trauma counseling. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change thinking patterns that keep you stuck. As a Christian, I’m also happy to integrate biblical principles into our work if you desire. No matter your background, I aim to help you find hope and freedom from the pain you’re experiencing, using the values and beliefs that are meaningful to you.
Counseling has been my lifelong passion. I have worked with clients of all ages and from all walks of life, helping them navigate a wide variety of mental health issues. After moving from Nebraska to Florida in 2019, I opened my private practice in Fort Myers, where I continue to help others on their journey. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me gardening, traveling, or spending time with friends and family.
Let’s take a brave step together toward change. Contact me today for a free phone consultation, and start your journey to the life you are meant to live.
“Rachele is an amazing therapist. I have sent many clients her way and have received wonderful feedback. She uses research-backed methods and has rapid results with clients. I would highly recommend her!”
