Individual, family and couples counseling in Tucson and throughout Arizona.

Hi! I’m Rachel.
I’m thrilled you found us and know this is such an important step.
Welcome! I am the owner of Olive Branch Counseling - a neurodivergent, lover of memes, gamer, sarcastic, cursey mom of two. I have worked to attract like-minded, laidback and effective therapists to form a truly unique group practice and experience for clients. I’m an LPC, clinical supervisor and specialize in neurodivergent children and adults!
While we know training and specialization are important, we prioritize the relationship - warmth, humor, and authenticity as the foundation of our approach.
Having navigated my own journey with neurodivergence, I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of a high quality and cozy, comfortable therapeutic environment. It's this personal journey that inspired me to create a space where individuals like you can feel seen, heard and empowered to find answers.
Olive Branch is a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming team of clinicians ready to get started with you and share in this mission of authenticity.

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.
