Hi there! My name is Rachel Waggoner and I am a Clinical Therapist & Supervisor and the founder of Ebb & Flow! I believe that everyone who walks through our doors helps to shape this space into the incredible, healing, place it has become. My goal is to constantly evolve with the field and learn and implement new/relevant techniques into our studio.

I founded Ebb & Flow after living in Chicago for over 8 years. I have worked in many different settings throughout my career from crisis management to residential to outpatient private practice. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes/transitions and have an affinity for working with adult children of parents with mental illness.

During the therapeutic process, I strive to utilize a holistic set of skills to help my clients find balance, compassion, and navigate closer to their values. As a therapist I am here to help clients dive further in the process through using empathy, compassion, and gentle challenges in order to open up more room for healing and growth. I will create a space for exploration and evolution to help you better align with your goals. In session I utilize mindfulness techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I also enjoy sharing fun, interesting tools such as apps or podcasts for clients to use outside of session and will also bring Lola the Therapit into session to help clients find more grounding and comfort when processing difficult emotions.
