Rachel Turner, MSW, LICSW

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota and have been working in the mental health field since 2021. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Superior with a major in Social Work. I graduated with my Master’s degree from the College of St. Scholastica in Social Work in 2021. I have experience working with children, families, teenagers, and adults. On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my dog, watching sports, being outdoors, reading, and being with friends and family.

I have experience in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, body image issues, life changes/stressors, substance use, LGBTQIA+ communities, and other disorders. I am trained in TF-CBT, trauma work, grief, and in treating other mental health relating disorders.

I use a client-centered strengths-based approach to meet client’s with where they are at in their current life. Together in therapy, we will work together to explore your individual healing journey at your own pace. I work to bring a warm and welcoming approach to each therapeutic experience in session.

ART is a technique rooted in existing evidence-based therapies that provides rapid relief from distressful trauma symptoms, anxiety, and other issues. ART is used to treat betrayal trauma, PTSD, and many other forms of trauma.   Clients suffering from other mental health challenges can experience remarkable benefits.  Some of these challenges include:  Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Grief & Loss, Family Issues, and Phobias. 

ART works by temporarily reactivating the traumatic memory using relaxing eye movements. When the memory is accessed it can be permanently changed using ART's protocols and techniques.  While the client knows that the changes are not the actual memory, it provides a new start for the client.  The clients Trigger Origin is changed or removed which provides rapid emotional relief.  ART's motto is to keep the knowledge and lose the pain.  Once the session is complete, you will still have the facts of the memory, but you will lose the painful images, emotions, and sensations that were once a part of the memory.
