Sometimes we arrive at therapy because something has become difficult to bear: anxiety, depression, grief, a relationship that no longer feels familiar, or a life transition that unsettles our sense of who we are. Other times, we come because an old question keeps returning, or because we sense there is more to our inner lives than we've yet understood. I'm Rachel Q. McBrien, an LPCC offering depth-oriented and somatic psychotherapy in Wheat Ridge and online throughout Colorado. I earned my master's in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. My work draws on Jungian and psychodynamic traditions, relational psychotherapy, dreamwork, and attention to the body. I approach symptoms not only as problems to relieve, but also as experiences worth understanding in the context of a whole life. I work with people who are curious about the psychological life—artists, thinkers, people at thresholds, and those who may never have thought of themselves in those terms until pain or change brought them here. Our work is collaborative and attentive to the patterns, relationships, dreams, and feelings that may be asking for recognition. I believe the therapeutic relationship makes room for what is difficult, contradictory, or not yet known. You don't need to know Jung, remember your dreams, or have words for what is happening yet. We can begin with what brings you here.
