The bloom therapeutics Team

---

 Hi! My name is Rachel Swaim. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling with a concentration in clinical mental health from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2020.

I provide individual and family therapy to adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, and addiction. I view counseling as a collaborative process between clients and myself, with clients being able to set their own goals for therapy and treatment. I take a Person-Centered approach to therapy while pulling interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to connecting with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHC-A). I have an undergraduate degree in psychology with minors in criminal justice and sociology from Saint Leo University. I received a Master’s degree in psychology from Saint Leo University and a Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty

University.

I have developed and honed my skills over the last eight years by working with various populations including children, adolescents, and adults in case management, private practice, hospital, school/day treatment, and tele-mental health settings. Some of the areas that I have practice include stress/anxiety, depression, self-harm,

self-esteem, substance use, trauma, personal growth, and adjustments/life transitions.

My approach to counseling is a person-centered and strengths-based approach while utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I also have experience with motivational interviewing.

I strive to provide clients with the foundation that is needed to improve their current situation and help them to reach their goals. I am passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space where clients feel empowered to be their most genuine self. I work to personalize each approach to therapy based on the client’s individual needs.

I look forward to meeting you where you are at in life and helping you through your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A). I have an undergraduate degree in social work from North Carolina A&T State University. I received a Master's degree in social work from the Joint Master of Social Work Program with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University. 

Over the past six years, I have honed my skills through academic and internship programs, gaining valuable experience with a diverse range of populations, from adolescents to underserved communities.

I have had the opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team, as we provide integrated approaches using many modalities. Those may include Systems theory, a strength-based perspective, and motivational interviewing.

As a counselor, my primary goal is to create a safe and comfortable space for my clients. I am deeply committed to empowering individuals to make positive changes in their lives. I see my role as one of support and guidance, always respecting the client's control over their journey.

Hi, my name is Johanna! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHC-A). I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with minors in Human Development and Family Studies and Sociology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

My counseling experience includes working with a wide range of ages from diverse cultural backgrounds in both individual and group settings. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to meet your unique needs. I commonly incorporate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to develop more adaptive thinking patterns. Additionally, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes strengths, resources, and present-focused solutions. I speak both English and Spanish. 

Through our therapeutic relationship, I hope to work collaboratively with you to address any concerns and/or other aspects of yourself and your life that you would like to explore through the therapeutic process. My goal is to provide a welcoming and safe environment for individuals and families to grow and reach their goals. I truly believe that every person has the traits and strengths within themselves to reach their full potential. My goal is to help you reconnect with those traits to live your most authentic life. 

I am currently accepting new clients! It would be both a pleasure and an honor to have the opportunity to work with you.
