Our Mission
Hi I’m Rachel, the owner and Clinical Director of Olive Branch Counseling, a group practice in Tucson, AZ that provides individual and family counseling as well as occupational therapy. Our mission is to provide evidenced-based and impactful care to misunderstood and marginalized populations — from toddlers to adults, all types of family constellations, various backgrounds, and different neurodivergent experiences.
Our team shares in neurodivergent life experiences which we believe helps us connect with our clients. By having a safe, understanding space to figure things out, we hope to give you clarity and validation to move forward in an authentic and compassionate way.
We value our connection above all else — with humor, some cursey words, and some self-disclosure because it’s valuable to the process and a reminder that you’re not alone and don’t have to be perfect or hang onto any mask.
Please feel free to contact our team in the contact section or schedule an appointment at the top of the site to get started!

~ Warm, Genuine, and Empowering ~
“I am an Introvert and a homebody and always need space to re-charge my social battery. “I love Studio Ghibli, Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Attack on Titan to name a few. I also am a recovering perfectionist and practice mindfulness to help myself move slower and at my own pace in life. I will always be a forever student, learning is a passion of mine, whether I am studying research, growing deeper in my faith or growing as a mother, I will be a forever learner. Most importantly though, I love spending time with my family and my dogs, Bash and Bowie.”
