“Being a psychologist is deeply rewarding because it allows me to create a healing space where individuals feel safe, supported and understood. I am passionate about fostering meaningful change in the lives of my clients, helping them navigate challenges and discover their inner strengths. Collaboration lies at the heart of my work—I value the chance to work together with clients to build resilience, confidence and emotional well-being. Witnessing my clients’ growth and transformation is a constant reminder of why I love what I do.”
In her therapy environment, Dr. Rachel Cheyne strives to cultivate a nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere where clients feel they can explore the possibilities of their lives and challenge ideas that may no longer serve them. Dr. Cheyne emphasizes the practical application of solutions, ensuring that the insights and strategies they develop can be seamlessly integrated into everyday life. Her goal is to empower clients with the tools and confidence needed to navigate their unique journeys with resilience and clarity.
Dr. Cheyne’s therapeutic approach incorporates a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. These techniques include solution-focused therapy to help clients identify their strengths and work toward achievable goals in a constructive and forward-thinking way. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) allows Dr. Cheyne to assist clients in understanding the connections between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors, while dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) provides valuable tools for managing emotions and building healthier relationships.
For children, Dr. Cheyne integrates play therapy, creating a safe and expressive space where they can explore their feelings and experiences through play. By blending these techniques, Dr. Cheyne aims to offer a comprehensive and adaptable approach to foster meaningful growth and healing.
