Rachel Mulder-Vogedes, MA, LPC

meet rachel

clinical director

I provide individual counseling and professional coaching in a warm, safe and supportive environment. I believe in identifying your strengths and feel it is important to focus on “what is working” rather than dwelling on all that is “wrong” in your life. I understand that therapy can be difficult and I will provide you with support, encouragement, insight, and guidance along the way.

Bethany Olson, MA

Emotional Wellness Coach

​As an Emotional Wellness Coach I meet with clients who are inspired to take a deeper dive into their personal growth journey. The magic lies in my ability to notice patterns in a person’s thoughts, emotions, behaviors and life experiences. The patterns are then explored in a way that empowers clients to further develop and utilize their own intuition.

The counseling relationship is very unique. We choose to share a very personal story and journey with another person. When I first met Rachel I immediately felt “seen”. Rachel is an amazing, caring, empathetic counselor and she is wise beyond her years. She has a unique ability to not only see the goodness in people, but to reflect that vision back to them. She was able to meet me where I was in my journey and walk with me as I explored deeper and deeper. Although she let me lead the way, I always knew she “had my back” and that I was not alone. I will be eternally grateful for her help!

I have always thought of a good therapist as someone with the same qualities as a close friend except with the usual patient/provider boundaries. Rachel falls into this category for me and is someone who I’ve come to admire and respect. I’ve worked with her both in individual and group settings. She is professional, easy to talk to, has a good sense of humor and has really been able to help me clarify and help change many thinking patterns/behaviors that were keeping me stuck for so long. For the first time in my life, I’m learning to love myself – thanks Rachel! 

C.e.

“I was constantly a nervous wreck when it came to confrontation and telling people how I feel. I wanted to work on Setting better boundaries and focusing on the future instead of dwelling on past trauma. I love the fact that she supports me and helps me come up with plans to set boundaries and move forward with my life. It surprised me how much more I like it than therapy, I never feel tired after talking with her. Sara’s the best and she’ll make you feel so much better about yourself and your life”

“Sara really takes the time to create questions and exercises that reflect who you are and to delve deep into what you really need to live your best life. She creates an environment that is supportive, honest, and safe. Her ability to allow you to lead the session is refreshing, yet she is really the one helping to steer the conversation and asks probing questions to help dig deeper into your innermost thoughts and feelings. After every session I felt a sense of relief and purpose. I felt recharged and excited for our next meeting and also the opportunity to look at my life and career through a slightly different lens.”
