About me
I am a licensed Master Social Worker with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, working in the field of Social Work for the past 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, grief/loss, effects of past trauma, disturbances with all areas of wellness, lack in motivation, stress management, anger management, OCD and ADHD.
My counseling style is warm, nonjudgmental, motivational, and interactive. I believe in professional behavior of respect, sensitivity, compassion, empathy, and confidentiality and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical-behavioral, trauma based - IFS, solution focused.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. Evidence based therapy approaches are proven to not only reduce and manage these difficult areas of concern but also work to empower individuals with insight, coping skills, problem solving skills, self control, and self advocacy to carry you on in your journey of life. I will dialog with you and together we will develop a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rachael McKinnon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
She's the best. She doesn't take sides and tells it how it is, which is very helpful. 10/10 would recommend.
Great listener and very effective communicator
Dr. McKinnon is good at listening to both parties and finding ways to bridge misunderstandings and find common ground
In my opinion our therapist is kind, intelligent, fair and listens to both sides. My biggest compliment would be the tools she is giving us to work on ourselves and the relationship.
Rachael is respectful and intuitive. While responding in compassion, she’s also able to identify the critical next steps to move forward, in a way that gives the individual success and forward steps to take. Highly recommend.
Rachael is a phenomenal therapist and couple’s counselor. She listens genuinely and responds thoughtfully and intentionally. Our marriage has seen a lot of improvement in communication and understanding eachother, since working with Rachael! We are very grateful for her expertise and dedication to helping others.
Rachael has been a great therapist for my husband and I. We wanted to strengthen our communication skills and I can confidently say that goal was achieved. She gave us homework and I believe all the work we put in has paid off. We are sad to be leaving Rachael since we are moving, but strongly recommend her.
Has been great!
