Counseling Intern
I am deeply passionate about helping individuals experience healing, restoration, and hope as they navigate life’s challenges. My desire to pursue counseling is rooted in my personal journey of healing from trauma. This lived experience allows me to approach each client with empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for their story.
I was born and raised in India and migrated to the US as an adult. Living and serving in two diverse cultural contexts has uniquely equipped me to see people through a multicultural lens. Having lived and served in diverse cultural contexts, I bring a strong commitment to multicultural awareness and culturally responsive care. I strive to honor each client’s unique cultural background, identity, and lived experience, recognizing how factors such as culture, faith, family systems, and social context shape the healing process. My goal is to create an inclusive space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based theory. I believe healing unfolds through attuned relationships, emotional awareness, and compassionate self-understanding.
Education and Training
As a counseling intern, I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling at Richmont Graduate University, specializing in trauma and holding a certificate in trauma studies. I am in the final year of my program and am expected to graduate in May 2027. I hope to pursue further certifications in EMDR Trauma therapy.
About Rakhee
