Top Idaho children therapists who accept cash payments

I have been an independent clinician since 2013 and in private practice since 2017. I strive to provide clients with a safe, calm, open therapeutic environment. I believe we are all individuals and there is no one size fits all approach. Therefore, I tailor therapeutic treatments to the need and the goals of my clients. I am painfully aware that some of life’s transitions can be difficult to cope with: be it a loss of a loved one, a new illness, a chronic illness, a disability, depression or just everyday life. Whatever the case may be, we all need help and somebody to talk to during our life’s journey. Some of the conditions I treat include chronic illnesses, disabilities, mental illness, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss. I specialize in working with families who may have a member that is disabled as well as family situations. I am here to help you improve your journey through life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children.

I’m Rachel Thornburg, a genuine person facing my own challenges, just like my clients, which is why I adopt an informal style to help them feel comfortable. While I work efficiently, I guide clients with compassion and understanding. My greatest strength comes from the trauma I’ve experienced, enabling me to empathize deeply with their struggles. I devote a lot of my time to video games, proudly calling myself a gamer, even if I'm not the best. I love the great outdoors, dreaming of camping trips with fishing galore. I have a vocal music minor which means I enjoy music that tells stories and has beautiful harmonies where I am able to sing along. During my degree journey, I stumbled upon an incredible chance to work in an outpatient program with court-mandated clients facing addiction. This experience created a profound passion for helping individuals break free from addiction and embrace recovery. This experience has sharpened my ability to understand my clients' needs, explore their challenges, and customize their recovery paths, fostering hope for a brighter tomorrow. In my career, I've had the joy of supporting teens, adults, couples, and various groups. While I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I blend in other methods too. Lately, I've been exploring Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which shows great promise. Above all, I prioritize tuning into my clients' needs with empathy, creating space for both tears and laughter.

Life can be challenging. A lot of events and experiences happen unexpectedly, and it can be difficult to find a sense of control and tools to support yourself. Even when life feels confusing, the weight of pressure or expectations feels heavy, or you aren’t sure what next steps to try and navigate, I know that you have strength and resilience. Simply reaching out and starting the process is empowerment in action. Together, we can discover and refine the strengths and resources you have to better serve you and enhance your confidence in managing life stressors. I can’t change past or present stressors and hardships, but I am here to walk alongside you. I aim to provide a safe and secure place to process emotions, events, or relationships causing distress. Together we can explore strategies that foster acceptance, develop coping skills, and uncover solutions aligned with your goals and values. I operate from a client-centered approach that focuses on the person and the systems they interact with. I integrate techniques from CBT, Grief Therapy, ACT as well as emotion-focused and somatic awareness. I’ve guided clients with Grief/Loss, Bereavement, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Workplace Difficulties, Chronic Disease and other presenting issues. It takes courage to reach out for support, and I commend you for taking this step! Together, let’s embark on a journey of growth, healing, and hope.
