About me

I am an individual and family therapist who is licensed in the state of Colorado. In my 19 years in the field I have worked with a wide variety of populations including at risk children and teens, incarcerated individuals, families involved in the foster care system and people who are trying to best manage the multiple demands of navigating life in today's world. My first priority in therapy is to create a space where you feel safe and can share what you are dealing with. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all humans and we often lose sight of our worth while we are busy living. Once you feel safe and worthy of an improved life, we can get down to working on specific ways for you to create that life. I use a holistic, trauma informed approach and incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and psycho-education based upon your specific needs. As a trained neurofeedback practitioner, I also incorporate techniques based in neuroscience to help you change the actual functioning of your brain to help you reach your goals. I am a parent coach and have witnessed (and lived) the challenges of parenting in our modern world where youth are exposed to media and influences they must learn to successfully navigate throughout their developmental stages. Human beings are often messy and complex but within the messiness and complexity often lies our full depth of human experience. It is often in the midst of the storm we find the best parts of ourselves. From that space we can develop resilience and skills on which to build a rich and meaningful life and deepen our connections to others. Embarking on the journey of self-discovery through therapy is not easy. It is, however, an extremely valuable endeavor and has the potential to positively alter the course of your life. I look forward to being on this journey with you and it is an honor to be part of your change and growth process.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rachael Meadows. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Can’t say enough good things about Rachael. We’ve been talking for about 2 years and she’s helped me change my life for the better. I could never express truly how grateful I am for her.

Written on Apr 02, 2022 after therapy with Rachael for 1 year and 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and self esteem

Rachael is always understanding and knows people more than they know themselves. It took me 3 times to try to find the perfect therapist to still help me through my trauma that I was still going to. I absolutely adore her! She is amazing and without her, I don’t know where I would be.

I have seen many counselors in the past and none have provided me the help and support that Rachael has this year. She not only listens, but she offers insights, recommendations and suggestions for alternative sources of information like books, podcasts, mediation, etc. I can't say enough about her. I feel like I struck gold with her and BetterHelp.

Rachael is truly the best therapists I’ve had, and I’ve had plenty. Being able to form a trusting bond and know that no matter what I can tell her anything has helped get me out of a lot of bad mental places. It’s hard to open up in the name of vulnerability and anxiety but she makes it so much easier.
