Rochelle Rathke-Simmons

I am excited that you have taken this step to navigate your own treatment to heal. I am here to support you in realizing that your past does not have to predict your personal contentment in the future. I offer an accepting and safe space for you to process your feelings.

Although I practice utilizing many modalities of therapy, I am especially passionate about utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy) in my practice. I also specialize in Trauma-Focused and Compassion-Focused counselling.

I have extensive experience working with and providing support to teens, adults, and families who have experienced significant trauma and am an avid learner and enjoy staying up to date on new training that will be helpful for me as a therapist. I look forward to working with you and welcome you to reach out today to take a step forward in your own journey towards healing.
