Rachel Craig BSW, MSW, RSW
Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist
I provide individual therapy for adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, self-critical, or disconnected from what matters to them.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I offer a space where you can slow down, better understand the patterns affecting you, and explore changes that feel realistic and meaningful.
In-person therapy in London, Ontario, and virtual or phone sessions across Ontario.
A Space to Feel Understood
You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You may know that something feels difficult, exhausting, or stuck without being able to explain exactly why.
Our work can include making sense of the patterns beneath what you are experiencing, noticing how you respond when you fell overwhelmed or uncertain, and finding ways forward that feel manageable rather than forced.
My work is trauma-informed, strength-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. I aim to offer a space where you can be honest about what is happening without feeling judged, rushed, or expected to preform therapy in a particular way.
How I Work
I believe meaningful change often begins with understanding, rather than judging, the ways you have learned to cope, protect yourself, and get through difficult experiences.
In our work together, we may explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and internal patterns that keep you feeling stuck. We can also look at how different parts of you respond when you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or afraid of disappointing someone.
Depending on your needs and goals, I may draw from Internal Family Systems therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure and response prevention, mindfulness, and other evidence-informed approaches.
My role is not to tell you who to be or what choices to make. I will work alongside you with curiosity, honesty, and respect for your pace.
Experience and Professional Background
I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and hold both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work.
I have worked in the mental health field since 2012, supporting adults with concerns including ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, communication difficulties in relationships, difficulty setting boundaries, and difficulty expressing their needs.
I remain committed to ongoing professional development so that my work continues to reflect current knowledge, thoughtful clinical practice, and the individual needs of the people I support.
