I aim to provide people with the support and resources needed in order to help them move forward in life. I primarily use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) to help meet the needs of each client. It is a goal-oriented theory that looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and how they impact how people feel about themselves. I offer a safe space for clients to be themselves and feel open to share anything. I am interested in working with youth and adults.

Rachel Sprague, MS, LCMHC

Therapist

​I have wanted to work with children for as long as I can remember. When I graduated from my undergrad, I worked in the school district, working with kids of varying abilities, ages, personalities, and challenges. I developed my advocacy skills to be able to support their parents in helping their children grow. I have a heart for watching kids overcome unthinkable circumstances and demonstrate resilience through trauma. I have had the privilege of supporting adolescents through their high school to college transition and have found joy in watching them achieve their goals. My office is designed to be a fun, safe space for all.

I obtained my master’s of education in clinical mental health counseling from North Carolina State University in 2020. As an advocate, I developed a niche for working with children with behavioral, emotional, ability, and educational differences. I completed TFCBT training through Duke University in 2022. I also have training in sand tray.

If you’re wondering how to support your child through a major life transition, trauma, or emotional challenges, I am here to support you. Through expressive art, play, & a tailored blend of approaches, I am here to provide your child with the skills to overcome obstacles. There is no one “right” approach and I strive to meet my clients’ unique needs.
