Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a licensed therapist who believes that healing starts with feeling seen, supported, and understood. I created this blog to share practical mental health resources, thoughtful insights, and encouragement you can apply in everyday life.

When I'm not meeting with clients, you'll usually find me running, practicing yoga, spending time with my family, exploring nature, or discovering new places and great food. I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Rachel Agrario, MS, CPC, LCADC
