Noderer Counseling LLC

My name is Rachel Noderer (she/her) and I have spent the past 9 years helping individuals develop a stronger sense of compassion for themselves and mastery over their own identity. I work with folks who may be struggling with a lack of purpose, low self esteem, anxiety, or difficulty managing relationships with friends and loved ones. As we work together, my hope is that you will gradually feel more centered in your sense of self. You'll feel like you are making decisions more thoughtfully and that you are acting in accordance with your values. While I tailor my specific therapeutic interventions to meet your needs, my preference is for a conversational non-directive approach to explore and discover underlying patterns that may be influencing your experiences. I am a person-centered therapist first and foremost - which means I prioritize placing you and all of your intersecting identities at the center of the story. You are the expert of your own life and I'm here to walk beside you, provide feedback, and most importantly provide you the space you need to figure things out. Therapy with me may feel like sitting down with that friend who is your biggest cheerleader. I value curiosity, humor, and reflection in therapy and I strive to create lots of space for those qualities in our work together. I am queer-affirming, trans-affirming, sex-positive, and believe in practicing Health at Every Size. I also am comfortable working with individuals in the kink/BDSM community as well as individuals practicing consensual non-monogamy or participating in polyamorous relationship structures. When not in session, I've been known to throw myself into any number of hobbies. I enjoy baking, reading horror novels, crocheting, playing video games, and spending time with my spouse and our 3 cats (Eliza, Alan Rickman, and Aloy). **Please note that I am unfortunately unable to accept Medicaid and Medicare plans.**
