Rachel Knudson, LPC

Rachel Knudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, and depression. Rachel takes a straightforward and supportive stance in sessions and encourages people to use their own strengths to move forward.

Rachel believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She listens for what matters most and helps people find practical steps they can try between sessions. Her style aims to be empowering and down-to-earth rather than clinical or overly technical.

Her background includes several years working with people facing traumatic experiences and intense emotions. She has experience addressing issues such as attachment and abandonment struggles, dissociation, codependency, and substance-related concerns. Rachel also works with concerns around body image, control issues, and navigates topics related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture when they arise.

Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world coping strategies. Rachel helps with anger management, processing grief, and strategies for managing anxiety and depressive symptoms. She encourages small, manageable changes that can make daily life feel more livable.

People who choose Rachel work together to set priorities and track progress. She supports practical problem solving while validating difficult feelings. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
