Rachel Newton, LPC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Oregon. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder. I have worked with houseless mothers and children and families with neurodivergent children from birth to 3 years of age until I went to complete my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Lewis and Clark in Portland, Oregon. I have worked in mental health outpatient settings in Portland, Oregon since 2013.

I enjoy reading mystery novels, hiking, doodling, true crime, and playing tennis. I am often with my young child and understand the challenging balance of becoming a mother during a pandemic and the added obstacles this brings to our lives.

Treatment Orientations

I utilize trauma informed practices with client centered approaches to support a safe place for clients. I incorporate CBT/DBT, mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches to support clients in meeting their goals. I am trained in EMDR therapy techniques. I believe it is important to listen, hear and honor the experiences lived by others and healing begins once an open and non judgmental space is created for one’s experiences.

I work with female identified clients who have experienced trauma or experience anxiety or depressive symptoms. I have comfort in working with clients from different cultures, races and ethnicities. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and hope to offer a welcoming space to all.

I am practicing a hybrid model and will be meeting with clients in person or Telehealth based on the preferences of the client.

I work with adult female identified clients who may be experiencing:

  • Anxiety, panic and chronic inability to make decisions

  • Depression

  • Social Isolation

  • Divorce, Job Loss and other life transitions

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder/ Trauma

  • Relational/Family Issues

  • Caregiver burden/burnout

  • Domestic Violence survivors

  • Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
