Rachael Garner, LPC

Rachael believes that meaningful change is achievable even for the most deeply entrenched difficulties or the patterns you’ve almost given up on. Change asks for two things: your courage, and skilled guidance to walk alongside you.

Rachael started out specializing in sexual issues and complex trauma, a path that revealed just how deeply the brain and body are connected. Rather than managing symptoms on the surface, she works to address the root, treating the whole person through a whole-nervous-system approach. Her primary tool is EMDR, thoughtfully integrated with somatic and relational work, emotion-focused therapy, attachment theory, family systems, and Internal Family Systems approaches.

Originally from Hoschton, Georgia, Rachael now calls Jackson home, where she and her husband are raising their two boys and she cares deeply about the good of the city. She’s most at rest with a hot beverage and a good book, is a decent amateur baker, and, in another life, would love to run a bed and breakfast.
