"Your word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path."
Psalm 119:105
"Pursue wisdom and knowledge as if it is the greatest of all treasures."
Healing that honors your whole self
Hello Beloved — I'm Rachel Guadamuz, a licensed mental health counselor, certified to minister, and follower of Jesus who believes healing is most powerful when it reaches the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
I hold an MA in Counseling from Western Seminary and a BS in Behavioral Health Science from Grand Canyon University. I am licensed as an LMHC in Washington State and an LPC in Texas, and I bring over two decades of ministry experience and training to this work.
My approach is Jesus first and clinically grounded. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic tools — because no two people heal the same way. At the heart of how I work is a belief that our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves, others, and God, and that healing often happens through experiencing something new: safety, consistency, and being truly known.

If Rachel were not a colleague, she would be my counselor! With a heart that knows the pains of life and the resilient spirit to overcome, she inspires her clients to press on toward health and healing with empathy and respect.
What Rachel brings to her counseling is deep intuition and empathy. Clients will feel well cared for, understood, and receive an approach from a Biblical worldview paired with excellent clinical skill.
