Rachel Doyle

Rachel works with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief and loss, life transitions, burnout, identity exploration, parenting stress, and raising neurodivergent children. 

For clinical supervision and consultation, Rachel sees professionals working in community mental health, housing, medical, geriatric, and/or substance abuse settings.

I believe therapy should be a place where people feel genuinely seen and not judged, pathologized, or pressured to fit into someone else’s idea of what healing “should” look like. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and rooted in the understanding that our mental health is shaped not only by our individual experiences, but also by the systems and environments we live within.

My style is direct, but compassionate. I bring authenticity, curiosity, humor when appropriate, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I believe clients already hold the capacity for healing within themselves, and therapy can help create the insight and connection needed to access it. Therapy with me is not about perfection but about building insight, finding sustainable ways forward, and creating space for you to exist as a full human being.

I believe healing happens in relationships built on trust, honesty, and mutual respect. Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or returning after difficult experiences elsewhere, you deserve care that feels safe, thoughtful, and empowering.

I provide clinical supervision that is supportive, collaborative, and grounded in both real-world practice and social justice values. My goal is to help supervisees grow into confident, thoughtful clinicians, not just people who can pass a $260 exam.

I believe strong supervision should create space for honesty, curiosity, and critical thinking. I work to foster an environment where supervisees can openly discuss clinical challenges, ethical dilemmas, burnout, imposter syndrome, systemic barriers, and the realities of working in overburdened systems without fear of judgment.

My supervision style is engaged, direct, and relational. I value clinical skill-building alongside reflective practice, professional identity development, and sustainable approaches to the work. I encourage supervisees to think deeply about power, culture, trauma, equity, and how larger systems impact both clinicians and clients.

I especially enjoy working with newer clinicians and helping professionals who want supervision that balances accountability with genuine support. Whether you are building confidence in your clinical voice, strengthening assessment and intervention skills, or navigating the complexities of the profession, I aim to provide supervision that is practical, affirming, and growth-oriented.

Above all, I believe supervision should help clinicians become not only more competent, but more grounded, self-aware, and empowered in their work.

In her free time, Rachel can usually be found catering to the whims of the dog and two cats who have adopted her, attempting new crochet projects, or trying to keep the weeds from taking over the flower beds. She is also a founding member and current Treasurer of SWEAR, which advocates for changes to social work licensing that create more equitable opportunities for underrepresented groups to enter and grow in the social work profession.
