About My Clients

Rachel Shockley helps people root to the wellbeing and empowerment within, and she believes people need to be mindfully accepting of the present to do that.

My Background and Approach

She typically uses a person centered, humanistic, existential approach, with a mindful focus on the present moment and your empowerment and growth. This approach seeks to connect people to themselves and others. Due to its co-creating methods, it is in line with liberation psychology, multicultural, and feminist approaches, and decolonizing psychotherapy. Online appointments are available in Colorado, and Walk and Talk sessions outdoors are available in Bayfield and Ignacio. Cost is a top concern so they partnered with 2 insurance conglomerates to help with your costs: Optum (United Healthcare, etc), and Aetna. It's possible your insurance is under their umbrellas. If not, services are out of network or cash pay. Because of this, and colonialism, racism, all the isms, and all the barriers, Rachel and a few care providers founded a nonprofit to help create more access. Celebrate Empower is a new 501 (c)( 3) public charity that strives to improve health and well being.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It can feel pretty bad to be looking for a therapist. And if it does, I'm sorry. It's not you. Well, I feel pretty confident saying it's not ALL you. And I want you to know that you're not hopeless, and that things can get a lot better. But sometimes getting help is part of that. And it's OK to ask for and receive help. I get help too. Just like everyone else. It's hard to know what I can tell you about myself, to help you decide if we'd do good work together. I wish I knew. That's why I offer a free consultation call, and I've put a ton of information on my website https://www.rachelshockley.com/. Sorry for the wonky formatting, these boxes have character limits. More about Celebrate Empower: It's just starting out and the board hope to expand access to in person services in Bayfield and Ignacio for kids and adults through counseling, education, culture, and community connection programs. Please reach out to Rachel to get involved, volunteer, and donate to Celebrate Empower.
