Rachel Hansen, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Therapy for Trauma, Trust, and Emotional Recovery in Las Vegas, Nevada and Online across Nevada or New Jersey
Compassionate Therapy for People Who’ve Held It All Together
I believe every person has a right to feel safe—in their body, their relationships, and their choices. But for many of us, especially those with histories of trauma, abandonment, emotional neglect, or spiritual harm, that sense of safety was never taught, fostered, or allowed.
That’s not your fault.
And it can change.
My work is centered on rebuilding that safety—through deep, integrative, evidence-based therapy that meets you where you are and honors all that you’ve survived.
About Me
I’m Rachel, a trauma-informed therapist based in Las Vegas offering therapy for anxiety, trauma, religious deconstruction, and relationship issues—online in Nevada and New Jersey. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and a real human who gets it.
I know what it’s like to question your voice, your value, and your intuition after being shaped by unhealthy systems—whether that’s a dysfunctional family, a toxic relationship, or an ignorant or harmful spiritual community.
I created Thrive Well Therapy as a space for people like you—people who’ve been high-achieving, hyper-responsible, deeply sensitive, and quietly unraveling—to find relief, reconnection, and real healing.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with:
-
Fixers, perfectionists, and overthinkers
-
People navigating trust issues, relationship anxiety, or emotional disconnection
-
Folks recovering from religious trauma, spiritual abuse, or identity loss
-
Adult children of emotionally unavailable or chaotic parents
-
Those curious about EMDR, psychedelic integration, or therapy that actually goes deep
What Therapy With Me Looks Like
If you’ve tried therapy before and it felt too surface-level, or like you had to perform—this is different.
Therapy with me is:
Deep, relational, and compassionate
Learning practical tools that help in your daily life
Structured when you need it, soft when you don’t
Focused on helping you feel safe in your body again and trust your own voice
You’ll be seen, challenged gently, and supported consistently.

A little more personally...
I’m a transplant-artist at heart—born in Florida, shaped by my time in California, New Jersey, and now Nevada. These experiences give me perspective, flexibility, and deep empathy for people navigating life transitions and identity shifts.
Outside of my work, I am happily (most days!) married to my partner of over 25 years, and we share three adult children. I find joy in early morning cups of tea, thunderstorms, my dogs, and hiking the mountains of Nevada.
My Mission
At Thrive Well Therapy, I help people who’ve always “held it together” start holding space for themselves.
I’m here for the deep feelers, the overthinkers, the fixers, the deconstructors, and the ones who’ve been in survival mode for way too long.
Let’s reclaim your peace, your voice, and your self-trust—together.
