I (Rachel Watkins) am a Charmed Counseling intern. I am working on my Master of Social Work degree in pursuit of becoming a Clinical Licensed Social Worker at Grand Canyon University, AZ, with an expected graduation date of December 2025. I received my BA in Communications in 2002 from Long Island University and was a stay-at-home mom for a period of time before I found my passion for working with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and PTSD. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).

 

As a counselor in training, I strive to provide a nonjudgmental and client-centered environment where we can collaborate on how to navigate life’s challenges. I believe in a strength based, client- centered approach. I am passionate about helping those who are recovering from dysfunctional relationships, struggling with childhood traumas and other traumas, as well as those who suffer with low self-esteem, and anxiety.

During my internship, I meet with a Clinical Supervisor weekly to continue my growth and development as a counselor. I work under the direct supervision of Diane Hopkins, a licensed mental health counselor. (LW61007456). All consultations with my supervisor are confidential. I offer services via telehealth. I look forward to working with you.
