Lucas Rakel, Mental Health Counseling Intern
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, exhausted? Seeking help but finding only advice without feeling truly understood for who you are. I’m here to offer you compassionate support—to not just provide advice, but to genuinely connect with your lived experiences. Together, we’ll navigate these emotions and thoughts, discovering what resonates best for you. Rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all solution, my approach focuses on helping you define how you want to live your life according to your own values.
Central to my therapy approach is building a strong relationship based on mutual understanding. I believe in fostering trust as the foundation of our work together. Once we’ve established this trust, I’ll draw from humanistic psychology, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy to guide our work.
Our journey will be uniquely tailored to you as we develop practical tools to enhance your self-relationship, navigate life’s challenges, and align with your core values. Whether you’re grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors, or relationship issues, I offer a warm compassionate space where you can explore and grow
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy from the University of La Crosse, and I have been working in the mental health field for several years. My experience includes various roles in clinical and inpatient settings, where I developed a deep understanding of the healing process.
Currently, I am pursuing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling, focusing on contemplative psychotherapy and Buddhist psychology. This journey has led me to explore how we can heal through our entire being—biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually
