RACHAEL L. DUNKEL - DODIER

MS, LCPC, LAC, HCDC, NBCC, CDWF, Founder At Bridger Peaks Counseling

I firmly believe in your inherent capacity for profound transformation and growth. Together, we embark on a journey to tackle challenges, navigate relationship conflicts, and address personal issues head-on.

My mission as a clinician is to guide you towards making life-affirming choices that pave the way for a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Many clients struggle to recognize their inner strengths and potential, and it's my privilege to illuminate these aspects within you.

I'll support you in identifying and overcoming maladaptive behavior patterns that have kept you feeling stuck. Armed with this insight, you'll gain the tools and perspectives needed to forge ahead towards a more harmonious and balanced life.

I have had extensive training in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, self-harming behaviors and substance use disorders.

My approach is genuine, compassionate and empowering. I provide support and a safe place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings about difficult issues impacting your life.
