Ms Rachel Troia Psychologist

Hi, my name is Rachel and I'd love to meet and support you. What makes therapy with me different? We will work in the moment. I will meet you where you are at and walk alongside you using my wealth of tools and my deep intuition. You are not a diagnosis or a label to me. You are precious and unique - this I will honour and respect. My goal is to bring greater awareness and balance into your life. Together we will nurture and heal your pain. I don't want you to remain stuck. Let's create shifts, movement and clarity. We won't just talk in our sessions. Therapy with me is an immersive, deep and interactive process. Expect to use art, role play, Dreamwork, symbol work, meditation and inner-journey tools to shine a light onto what has been buried. Rachel has completed a Graduate Diploma in Psychology; a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) (Honours); and a Graduate Diploma in Trauma-Informed Processwork Psychotherapy. She is registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). Rachel is trained in several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Rachel also has a special interest in the area of Process-Oriented Psychology. Rachel has extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents and adults. Rachel has a keen interest in working with teens experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, procrastination, low self esteem and interpersonal difficulties.
