About Rachel
Why I Became a Therapist
I have always loved helping people and felt this drive to be there for others. Helping others find their way to understanding and believing in themselves is such an inspiration.
History
I graduated from FHSU with a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling on May 10th of 2024.
I spent 5 months participating in my practicum with a Community Mental Health facility in Manhattan, KS in the spring of 2023.
In the Summer and Fall of 2023 thru the Summer of 2024 I completed my Clinical Internships with a private group practice that had offices in Overland Park, Lee’s Summit, and Leavenworth.
When I obtained my license as an LPC with the state of KS I continued on at that group private practice and transitioned from an intern to a full time LPC.
I am now working as an Individual LPC in my own practice here at ARC.
Rachel Chapman MS, LPCAnxiety Treatment
Having personally experienced the challenges of living with anxiety, I am deeply committed to helping others navigate their own journeys with this condition. My own struggle with anxiety ignited a desire to assist others in understanding and managing their symptoms. It is incredibly rewarding for me to support individuals in finding their unique paths to cope with anxiety, offering personalized strategies and guidance tailored to their specific needs. Witnessing the positive changes in my clients as they gain control over their anxiety is the most fulfilling part of my work.
Depression Treatment
Depression is a deeply personal issue that has profoundly impacted my life, both directly and through those close to me. I understand how it can ripple through a person's life and affect not only the individual but also their loved ones. My own experiences have fueled my commitment to helping others navigate their struggles with depression. It is incredibly rewarding to support someone in understanding and managing their depression, guiding them towards strategies that bring relief and a renewed sense of hope. Witnessing the progress and growth of those I work with is a testament to the transformative power of compassionate and effective treatment.
Couples Counseling
My curiosity about the dynamics of couples and the challenges they face led me to delve deeper into couples therapy. I was driven by a desire to understand the various ways couples struggle and to explore effective strategies for helping them navigate these difficulties. Observing how couples collaborate to address their issues and support one another is truly inspiring. There is nothing more gratifying than witnessing a couple thrive and grow through their journey together, transforming their relationship into a stronger and more harmonious partnership.
Family Counseling
Having navigated my own family’s struggles, I developed a deep curiosity about the challenges that families face and how these issues impact each member. I am passionate about working with families to uncover their unique dynamics and understand how individual experiences and perspectives contribute to the difficulties they encounter. Being involved in helping a family explore their collective and individual identities can be a transformative experience, providing crucial insights that serve as a foundation for healing. Guiding families through this process not only fosters deeper connections but also paves the way for meaningful and lasting change within their family system.
