Rachel Darter
Art Therapist
Meet Rachel (she/they), the visionary Art Therapist at Third Eye Counseling. She has a Master's in Art Therapy from Adler University Chicago with a BFA in Graphic Design and Photography. With a background in community organizing, Rachel's passion lies in being able to offer mental health resources and services for all, prioritizing support for trauma recovery and the LGBTQ+ community.
Rachel specializes in guiding clients ages 12-50 needing support with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, ASD, and life transitions. Through the kaleidoscope of art, Rachel blends Adlerian and Feminist approaches to therapy while harnessing the tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide unique pathways for healing for each client. Rachel firmly believes in the power of creative expression as a catalyst for transformation, reassuring clients that mastery is not a prerequisite for embarking on a creative journey to healing.
In addition to private practice experience, Rachel has used her leadership skills and artistry as an Arts Room Supervisor at Lurie Children's Hospital and also orchestrated art therapy groups for adults in community mental health day programs, further solidifying her dedication to fostering holistic wellness in diverse settings.
Rachel is available to provide services in Illinois, Florida, and Massachusetts.
