Welcome!
Hi there! My name is Rachel Pettersen. I have had the privilege of providing mental health services in Spearfish and the greater Northern Black Hills area since 2006. During that time, I've worked with many different individuals as a case manager and counselor / therapist. Within my work, I've been able to gain experience in providing counseling services for teens, families, and individual adults.
As a counselor, my vision is to partner with those who are looking to grow into the best version of themselves yet and who wish to find and take forward focused steps in their lives to cultivate that growth. Those steps might include learning new skills (maybe even letting go of old skills), healing from the past, or building healthy relationships with others or even yourself.
I do have an appreciation for a whole health approach to mental health and wellness, and I fully believe that each of us has what it takes to grow and heal in the ways that we want.
Within our counseling partnership, I believe we can work together to help you pursue a future that is rich in hope and light!
