Rachael's Purpose Statement: Unveiling HerĀ "Why"Ā as a Therapist
I became a therapist for children because I have always been drawn to the unique and complex world of childhood. I have a deep passion for helping young minds navigate their emotions, overcome challenges, and develop the resilience they need to thrive. My own experiences and journey have instilled in me a strong belief in the power of early intervention and support for children's mental health. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space for children to express themselves, process their feelings, and learn healthy coping strategies.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at my Experience as a Therapist
Play is the natural language of the child, by using play therapy techniques, we can bypass language and address the needs in a non-confrontational, safe, and fun way. They might think we are playing with dolls when we are really learning how to communicate, practicing sharing with our siblings, or learning about others' perspectives. Are we building a tower or are we learning about teamwork, communication, and how to handle frustration after we are upset that it fell.Ā -Rachael Keeling, LPCA
A Memorable Success Story
I have seen multiple successes using a variety of techniques, but I absolutely love seeing success in clients with delayed or limited communication by using Child-Centered Play Therapy techniques. By using the child's natural language of play, we are able to improve identifying and naming emotions, expressing emotions, improving self-awareness, modifying behavior, improving self-esteem, cultivating empathy, helping adjust to life changes, and so much more. -Rachael
Maintaining Balance: How I Prioritize Well-Being to Serve Clients, Myself, and My Family
I prioritize well-being to serve my clients, myself, and my family through therapy, mindfulness, and meditation. Embracing my inner nerd, I delight in dressing up for Renaissance festivals, indulging in games, and pursuing knowledge through constant learning.Ā -Rachael, LPCA
