Hi! I’m Rachel Ann Dine. So glad you are here! Over the years, I’ve seen how much pressure women can place on themselves. How from the outset, you may look like you are doing “fine” but internally, there are fears, worries, and self-doubt that interfere with your ability to live authentically, say no, and distance yourself from unhealthy relationships. You will find that my therapeutic approach is straightforward, personable, and compassionate. My goal is to create a welcoming environment and provide each person I meet with effective, evidence based tools you can apply in your life.
In working in the field for nearly two decades, I’ve learned and repeatedly seen firsthand how once the relationship you have with yourself is strengthened, anxiety lessens. The guilt of saying no lessens. Setting healthy boundaries and feeling more empowered in life and relationships becomes second nature versus being an overwhelming hurdle to overcome.
Using a holistic, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma informed approach, I take into consideration mind, body, and spirit to help you create a realistic plan for increasing mental wellness. I believe in understanding root cause origins and utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy as a whole to help you reframe unhelpful thoughts, increase your sense of self-awareness, and develop more self-trust. My goal is to provide you take action strategies you can use in everyday life so that you feel in control of yourself, your emotions, and can more confidently express yourself and embrace what you want out of life.
My specialization is in helping high achieving women who have symptoms of high functioning anxiety learn to find balance in life, curb people pleasing behaviors, and let go of negative thoughts of self. I also offer a clinical specialization in helping women heal from unhealthy and/or abusive relationships (domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation).
Maybe you are questioning what is occurring in your relationship and whether or not it is unhealthy for you. If so, reach out to explore what may be causing these concerns for you.
My experiences in the mental health field furthered my understanding and interest in the intersection between law and mental health (forensic psychology). I am a Board Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator and offer forensic mental health and substance abuse evaluations with a focus on Fitness for Duty, Juvenile Competency to Stand Trial, Risk Assessment, and Domestic Violence. Please contact my office to schedule an appointment for a forensic evaluation (Forensic Evaluations are available to Virginia residents and cases only).
