Rachel Caulk, LMHCA


I believe relationships are the foundational piece upon which healthy and functional lives are built; that we all flourish when we live in connection with others, engaging mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. These same relationships may also be the cause of one’s greatness pain or struggle. The therapeutic relationship we will develop will serve as our foundation in addressing past and present wounds. Together, my hope is that we can find healing and growth.

My approach to counseling is informed by all things attachment: EFT, the Gottman Method, Lifespan Integration, SYMBIS, and family systems theories. Throughout the counseling process, we will partner to address the unique challenges and experiences that have come with being in relationships with self and others. It is my goal for this to include implementing new and more effective strategies for future problem-solving and creating healthier decisions.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Religious Studies/International Development with a Concentration in Psychology from Trinity Western University, and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University.

I have lived in the Seattle area most of my life. My husband and I have been married fourteen years and were licensed foster parents in Washington State for six years. Together, we have three children. In my free time, I enjoy being active, cheering on my children at their various sporting events, and enjoying a meal with family and friends.
