Rachel Ann Dine, LPCC, LPC

With all that we are faced on a day to day basis, it's no surprise that worries, feeling overwhelmed, and struggling with making decisions that feel healthy for you may be coming up! I help high achieving, ambitious women learn to manage (and tame!) those anxious thoughts that swirl around and create self-doubt. Learn to create self-trust, get a handle on the second guessing of self, and feel confident to set healthy boundaries and live life in a way that honors you. Helping women create healthy, fulfilling romantic relationships, feel more confident in the dating and relationship choices you make, and heal from previous hurts in romantic relationships (i.e. infidelity, feeling let down by partners, domestic abuse) using a compassionate trauma informed approach is my subset therapeutic passion. You are so incredibly worthy of knowing what you deserve and feeling empowered to live life in a way that honors your emotional and physical needs.

Maybe you have gone to therapy before and found it a lackluster experience. Maybe you wonder if and how therapy can help you feel more confident. Or maybe you feel like you "should" be able to work through anxiety and create healthy relationships on your own. I get it. And my goal for every woman I work with is to provide you individualized tools so you feel empowered to manage life more effectively on your own. My therapeutic style is down to earth and solution focused.

Whether we target a specific concern to help you achieve mastery over it ("it" may be increasing self-confidence, being more assertive, letting go of guilt that may come from saying no, starting the business or relationship you've always wanted to, or feeling more confident about confrontation and verbalizing your needs) or we do more in depth psychodynamic counseling to understand how past experiences may be affecting the present-I have a unique knack for helping my lovely clients set achievable goals and build confidence in yourself!

I've been in the mental health field since 2005, have an easy and comfortable style of communication, and am a provider who is deeply invested in helping you work through previous trauma sensitively and compassionately as well as understand root causes for high functioning anxiety. Knowledge of self is power and I want you to have a better relationship with self, develop a clear self-identity, and feel empowered to walk through life with your head held high (despite any negative messages you may have received from family or others). Learn to identify, reframe, and change negative self talk that may be occuring and feel the internal freedom that comes from living your life the way you want to--not in a way that compromises your internal peace.

I offer both in person sessions (at my Agoura Hills office location) and am available for convenient, online sessions statewide to clients in California and Virginia. To get started, please visit my website for more information about my practice, e-mail or call, or use the self-scheduling portal on my website to request an appointment! If you don't see a time that works, please reach out and I'm happy to offer alternate times.
