About Rachel Hansen, LCSW
Therapy for Worn-Out Souls Healing Trust, Trauma, and Emotional Scars — Las Vegas + Online NV/NJ
Therapy for the Ones Who Held It All Together
If you’ve spent your life holding it together —
being the strong one, the steady one, the one who fixes, adjusts, and survives —you’re not alone.
And you’re not broken.
You deserved to feel safe in your body, your relationships, and your voice.
But if no one ever taught you how —that’s not your fault.
And it can change.
About Me (Real First)
I’m Rachel — a trauma therapist based in Las Vegas, working with adults across Nevada and New Jersey.
But more importantly:
I’m a real human who gets what it’s like to question your voice, your worth, and your right to trust yourself — especially after being shaped by systems that taught you to shrink.
Whether it was a chaotic home, a controlling relationship, or a spiritual community that confused harm with "love" — I see you.
I built Thrive Well Therapy for people like you:
-
The deep feelers.
-
The high achievers.
-
The strong ones quietly unraveling inside.
You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode anymore.
Who I Work With
I specialize in therapy for adults who are:
-
Fixers and perfectionists — always the strong one, never the safe one.
-
Overthinkers and caretakers — carrying everyone else’s emotions but their own.
-
Spiritual deconstructors — pulling apart what once held them together.
-
Adult children of chaos — still rebuilding trust in their own voice.
-
Seekers of deeper healing — ready to stop talking about it and actually heal it.
What Therapy With Me Feels Like
Therapy with me is messy, honest, and full of grace.
It’s deep — not surface.
It’s steady — not rushed.
It’s real — not performative.
We'll work with your nervous system — not against it — to help you feel safe in your own body again.
You’ll be seen without judgment, challenged without shame, and supported with real compassion.
You’re not here to perform.
You’re here to come home to yourself.

A Little More Personally...
I'm a transplant-artist at heart — born in Florida, shaped by California, New Jersey, and now Nevada.
These places taught me what it means to shift, to adapt, to grow into new versions of myself — just like the work we’ll do together.
I'm married (most days happily!) to my partner of 25+ years, and we’ve raised three beautifully messy adult children.
I love tea at sunrise, thunderstorms rolling over the desert, hiking the Nevada mountains, and the sacred chaos of a life lived awake.
My Mission
At Thrive Well Therapy, I help the strong ones — the ones who’ve carried too much for too long — learn how to carry themselves with tenderness.
If you’ve been surviving your life, it’s time to start living it.
Let’s reclaim your peace, your voice, and your self-trust — together.
