About Me

DSC_0067m.jpg
 

My name is Rachel Mosier and I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Iowa and Florida.

I’ve been working in the field of psychological care since 2006. I have a vast amount of experience working with children and families, adults, and couples. I’ve had the opportunity to grow my skills as therapist through community- and college-counseling centers, out-patient and in-patient hospitals, and a therapeutic school. I’ve helped those struggling with severe psychiatric mental illnesses, parent-child issues, mood and anxiety problems, adoption issues, the college- transition, and more. I’ve also assisted with various projects in child development research and taught a college-level child development course.

Change is possible for anyone with the right support and guidance. 

I believe everyone deserves a healthy and happy life. There will always be ups and downs in life, but gaining understanding of yourself and your past and learning skills to manage thoughts, emotions, and behavior, make the downs less daunting and the ups more enjoyable.

I believe therapy should be collaborative and include a trauma-informed perspective.

Experiences in life that have felt threatening or involved toxic stress in environment or relationships, impacts how a person walks through the world. I understand the process of working with those deep issues and the coping patterns they may have created, while also maintaining a foundation in addressing the issues in the “now”.

Confident parenting leads to confident children.

When a child feels secure in their relationship with a parent they have higher self-esteem, better problem-solving abilities, and more happiness in relationships. Using Child-Parent Psychotherapy and Circle of Security strategies, I assist parents in learning the road-map to parenting and addressing problem behaviors from anxiety to aggression. My work with parents is collaborative, as I provide guidance for improving the relationship and the behaviors of the child. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out if have any questions about therapy work with me. I will be honored to accompany you on your path to better well-being.

Sincerely,
