Survival mode isn’t living.
Perfectionism, emotional burnout, and identity loss aren’t your destiny.
They’re survival patterns — not your future.
You’ve carried more than anyone should have to.
You’ve smiled when you wanted to scream.
You’re done pretending you’re fine.
Here, healing gets to be messy, brave, and yours.
If you’re tired of holding everything together alone — you’re in the right place.
I'm a trauma therapist based in Las Vegas, helping adults across Nevada and New Jersey move from survival mode to real emotional resilience.
I specialize in helping adults heal anxiety, perfectionism, broken trust, and the scars that survival left behind.
Survival taught you to smile while drowning.
To stay silent when you wanted to scream.
Healing starts when you learn to feel safe again — in your body, your relationships, your own skin. Whether you're navigating:
-
Chronic anxiety
-
People-pleasing patterns
-
Relationship struggles
-
The loneliness of survival mode
I offer trauma-informed mental health therapy and anxiety counseling in Las Vegas, Nevada, and New Jersey — for deep feelers, fixers, perfectionists, and overthinkers who are ready to move into:
✨True healing
✨Rebuilt trust
✨Emotional resilience
✨Inner peace.
Relief for the strong.
Healing Isn't Pretty.
It's Brave As Hell.
Start Here — Your Healing, Your Pace.

Build a therapy plan that meets you exactly where you are — not where you "should" be.
If it feels like a good match, we’ll schedule your first full session — online or in-person — and set up everything you’ll need, including a therapy plan that meets you exactly where you are, not where you “should” be.

Begin healing with steady, compassionate support — even when life feels messy.
This is a space to lay it all down: the grief, the exhaustion, the hope you’re scared to have. You’re not here to be "fixed." You’re here to reclaim yourself.
We'll work gently with your nervous system — not against it — to rebuild trust and resilience from the inside out.
What Survival Taught You — and How You Heal.
➡️ Trust and Connection Struggles — when connection feels risky, but you still long for it→ [Explore trust & emotional safety ]
-
Trust feels dangerous — even with people you love.
-
Vulnerability feels like an open wound.
-
Connection feels like walking a tightrope.
➡️ Perfectionism and Self-Worth — when staying strong meant hiding your real needs
-
Success is your armor — but inside, you wonder if you're enough.
-
Saying no feels selfish — even when you're drowning.
-
Depending on people feels like gambling with your safety.
➡️ Emotional Overwhelm and Burnout — when the weight of survival never really lets up → [Explore emotional resilience therapy and anxiety treatment in Las Vegas and online]
-
You survive the day — but barely feel like you're living it.
-
You're everyone's safe place — but no one is yours.
➡️ Healing Spiritual and Childhood Wounds — when your past still echoes in the present
-
You're pulling apart what once held you together. Deconstructing faith or redefining beliefs→ [Explore faith deconstruction therapy ]
-
Unresolved childhood trauma or past emotional neglect→ [Explore Trauma & PTSD Therapy]
-
You numb the pain — or outrun it — just to survive. → [Explore Addiction Recovery Therapy]
You have the career, the family, the checklist — and you’re still drowning.
Therapy isn’t a tune-up. It’s a rebellion against the life that’s been killing you quietly.
The Ones Who Carried Too Much for Too Long.
Perfectionism, hyper-independence, and trust issues often form as survival strategies when you've had to stay strong for too long. You learned to survive. I help high-achieving adults stuck between outward success and inner self-doubt rebuild trust with themselves — and with others — through trauma-informed therapy. You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.
You've spent your life staying strong for everyone else. Now you're ready to finally come home to yourself — and live from a place of safety, not survival.
You're smart, self-aware, and driven — but under the high functioning, you might feel exhausted, disconnected, or lost.
You deserve more than survival. You deserve to thrive.
You might relate if:
-
You crave connection—but don’t fully trust it
-
You overthink everything
-
You’re exhausted from always being “the resilient one”
-
You want rest—but don’t know how to let go

Hi, I’m Rachel Hansen, LCSW — as a trauma therapist in Las Vegas and an online counselor for Nevada and New Jersey residents.
Therapy with me is messy, honest, and full of grace. It’s not about fixing you — it’s about uncovering who you’ve always been underneath the pain.
I know what it’s like to question your self-worth, your voice, or your body after trauma or religious harm. And I believe healing is possible—not by pushing through, but by slowing down and listening inward. My work is trauma-informed, justice-driven, and deeply compassionate. ✔ Trauma recovery ✔ Trust issues & relationship anxiety ✔ Religious trauma & spiritual abuse ✔ Anxiety, emotional burnout & nervous system healing ✔ Addiction recovery & sober curiosity I offer trauma-informed therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, trust issues, and emotional burnout—both in person in Las Vegas or online for Nevada and New Jersey residents. Ready to reclaim your peace and trust? Let’s work together to start your healing journey today.
