Counseling.
Individual, family and couples counseling in Tucson and throughout Arizona.
You’re looking for support.

What makes us stand apart - we prioritize authenticity, inclusivity, and connection and show up as humans first in our sessions with you. In normal people clothes, without the cold and clinical jargon or uptight vibe.
Hi! I’m Rachel.
I’m thrilled you found us and know this is such an important step.
I am the owner of Olive Branch Counseling - a neurodivergent, lover of memes, gamer, sarcastic, cursey mom of two. I have worked hard to attract like-minded, laidback, authentic, and effective therapists to form a warm, inviting practice.
While we know training and specialization are important, we prioritize the relationship - warmth, humor, and authenticity at the foundation of our approach.
Having navigated our own experiences with neurodivergence, motherhood, mental health, and other life events, we’ve lived the experience of seeking therapy and know how challenging and rewarding it can be (because here’s the secret - every therapist really needs a therapist). It's this personal journey that inspires us to create a space where individuals like you can feel seen, heard, and empowered.
Olive Branch is a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming team of clinicians who are culturally sensitive.

What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence refers to the natural variation in how people think, process information, and experience the world—often including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other cognitive differences. Being neurodivergent doesn’t mean something is “wrong”; it just means your brain works differently, and that difference is valid.
In therapy, we honor and support those differences, helping you build a life that fits you—not the other way around.
While we specialize in neurodivergence, we offer support to other areas that you might be struggling with or wanting to navigate.

Wherever you are, we're dedicated to ensuring you receive the support you need to thrive. -
Our practice uses aspects of CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which helps children through adults with managing unhelpful or intrusive thoughts, emotional regulation, and coping skills.
-
we use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy communication. We explain DBT as a practical, hands-on approach that blends acceptance and change, teaching clients how to understand their emotions while also learning strategies to manage them effectively. Whether in individual sessions or skills groups, we guide clients in applying DBT tools to real-life situations so they can feel more balanced and in control.
-
We utilize trauma-informed care and are working on training our entire practice in EMDR. Currently, Alex is offering EMDR in person and telehealth and Krista is offering telehealth for teens and adults.
-
We are all trained in Play Therapy interventions both via telehealth and in person. Through gaming, Sand Tray, story telling through play, art, and other child-led activities, we can help your child express their underlying thoughts and needs.
