Koru

The unfurling frond of the native New Zealand fern. It depicts new beginnings, life, and hope. It is the process of returning to your roots, yet continually moving forward.

Life is hard, getting help shouldn’t be

Hey, there! I’m Rachel. I created Koru Counseling and Recovery as a reminder that hope isn’t found on an island, but in a community. As a licensed professional, Christian counselor, I can work with you to identify specific tools and strengths that will help you create a true sense of purpose, rediscover joy in a post-burnout and post-pandemic reality, and increase your confidence in yourself and God's plan for your life. Have more questions before getting started? Please reach out through phone or email for a free consultation!

What We Do

  • Eating Disorders

    Whether you consider yourself to “officially” have an eating disorder or not, I’m here to tell you one thing: you DESERVE help. You don’t have to “earn” support or be “sick enough” before getting better. Let’s talk about where you’re at, and what recovery would feel like for you.

  • EMDR

    EMDR is a brain-based, narrative therapy that helps you transform the darkest moments of your life into your greatest allies, protectors, and sources of strength. It can be utilized for capitol T and lowercase t traumas, as well as phobias, anxiety, imposter syndrome, grief, and addiction.

  • Anxiety

    I get it, at some level, you love your anxiety. It makes you a thoughtful and quick-witted person. But, at some point along the way, those rapid-fire thoughts have turned dark, and are starting to destroy your life and your relationships. Counseling can help you learn why your fears seem to be spiraling out of control, and how to remain safe without selling your soul to anxiety.

  • Christian Counseling

    When you’re facing transitions, brokenness, confusion, or pain, your faith is often tested. Whether you’re facing church hurt, doubts in your faith, or trying to understand how God is present in suffering, counseling can be an invitation to draw closer to God than ever before.

The Koru Values

 

Inclusive

 

I couldn’t help but notice: therapy isn’t cheap. At Koru, instead of aligning my prices with my competitors, I strive to work with my clients and the needs of the community. I believe counseling is for all, so I want to do my part in addressing barriers and stigma, which often keep people from utilizing counseling. *I accept most major insurance plans to help make counseling accessible.

 

Authentic

 

We all know the value of “real” ingredients. We choose them for our food, our products, and our health. Why wouldn’t we choose them for our therapy, too? At Koru, I highly value a sincere, genuine, and honest approach to counseling. I will help you bravely examine your life’s complex and sometimes painful realities. If you can face your reality, you can change it.

 

Excellent

 

I believe in cutting costs, not corners. When you start counseling at Koru, you can be confident the affordability will never compromise the quality of our work together. As your counselor, I want your experience with counseling to be life-changing, in a good way! To do that, I offer an array of evidenced-based practices, backed by science, and tailored to uniquely fit you. I’m also equipped as a Christian Counseling for clients wanting to include that in sessions.

 

Empowering

 

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that choosing to be yourself is an act of true courage. I wholeheartedly believe he was right, and I hope your time at Koru helps you create peace and closeness with the person you are, the experiences that led you here, and the person you’re becoming.
