Rachel Gascho, MSW, RSW
Therapy & Coaching
Rachel is a registered social worker with a great enthusiasm for the neurodivergent mind. She was diagnosed with ADHD at age 9 and it was eye opening! Rachel also has a parent and sibling with ADHD, and is very familiar with the effects it can have on the whole family. As well as supporting others with ADHD, she has experienced many of the challenges associated with ADHD personally, including areas like school, social life, chores, and relationship maintenance. She wants to be the person who helps others harness their neurodivergent minds so they can avoid (or at least be prepared for) the problems that come with living as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world.
Rachel earned both her Bachelor's and Master's of Social Work degrees at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, where she developed a passion for a person-centered approach to therapy (all about what the person needs, not limited by one rigid method), believing that each client has unique challenges, strengths, and needs. |
She believes that mental health is a key component of overall wellbeing and is often overshadowed by physical health when it is at least equally important. Rachel has experience working with adults with severe intellectual disabilities in a group home setting as well as providing therapy to patients at a primary care office in a community struggling deeply from the results of poverty. Rachel works with clients to develop individualized and manageable goals and coping strategies that consider the whole system the person lives in, as well as to help process the trauma so common in fellow ADHDers & Autistics.
Rachel enjoys reading, cooking, baking (and eating!), spending time with family and friends, music, and being outdoors. She loves learning and takes every opportunity she can to expand her knowledge and understanding of the changing world.
