Rachel Sommerfield
Licensed Professional Counselor -
Hi there! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona and have been working in the behavioral health field for over 10 years. I love spending time with my family and have a 3 year old daughter, a baby boy, husband and two hyperactive pugs who will say hello to you if you do video sessions! I love playing video games in my down time and am a big fan of the Elder Scrolls series, Zelda and The Witcher.Here’s a little bit about what inspired me to become a counselor. As a child, I struggled with feeling deeply, being highly sensitive and often times, anxious. I felt misunderstood and as if there was something wrong with me. After finally getting diagnosed with ADHD in college, I was able to understand that my brain is wired differently but that there is hope to find tools to function in life and even some super powers related to ADHD (hyper-focus for the win!).I have a light hearted personality that helps me build a genuine and authentic connection to others (sarcasm, some cursey words and memes).I love working with children (ages 5 and up), teens and adults who are neurodivergent or in the LGBTQ+ community and provide an accepting and affirming space. I also enjoy helping people with anxiety and depression.
