Rachel Loong
Registered Counselor
“I work with clients navigating disempowerment through a down-to-earth environment where they can be supported without feeling judged or isolated. Clients are guided to gently explore the root of their challenges, develop a clearer perspective, and learn new coping tools to manage life when it becomes overwhelming.”
