Helping adults move beyond survival and reconnect with themselves after trauma.

About

About Me
Healing isn't about fixing what's broken; it's about understanding how your mind and body adapted to survive and discovering new ways to thrive.
I'm Rachel Katznelson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona specializing in developmental trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and nervous system healing. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and am currently completing my PhD in Transpersonal Psychology. My doctoral research explores the lived experience of healing developmental trauma through attachment repair, somatic integration, inner child healing, and the innate healing processes that support lasting transformation.
I believe many of the struggles we experience as adults are adaptive responses to early life experiences rather than signs that something is inherently wrong with us. Whether you're navigating the effects of childhood trauma, emotionally painful relationships, chronic stress, grief, or recovery from substance use, therapy can help you understand the patterns that once protected you while creating new ones that support greater freedom, connection, and authenticity.
In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I provide psychedelic integration and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for individuals seeking support before or after legally obtained psychedelic experiences. My role is to help clients safely process, integrate, and translate meaningful insights into lasting change.My Approach
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both research and lived experience. I integrate Somatic Experiencing®, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and evidence-informed trauma treatment to support healing at both the cognitive and nervous system levels. While insight is valuable, I believe lasting transformation occurs when the body also begins to experience safety, regulation, and connection.
I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on authenticity, trust, and compassion. I will meet you where you are while gently challenging the patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, healing from developmental trauma, strengthening relationships, or reconnecting with yourself, my goal is to help you move beyond surviving and toward living with greater resilience, purpose, and self-compassion.
