Reviews for Grad School Mentoring

“Rachel helped me by giving advice on how to format a personal statement for a graduate school application and listed some things to mention in the letter. She also gave me great suggestions on how to meet with the program coordinator if I could not visit the campus before applying to the program. This may make the applicant more memorable.”

Nikki C., Kennesaw State University student

“I cannot recommend Rachel enough for anyone applying to graduate school in the field of counseling or therapy. Rachel has been a tremendous asset to me by helping me create a professional resume, formulate and edit my personal statement, and by answering my numerous questions about the application and interview process. With Rachel’s incredible help, I have felt confident and knowledgeable throughout my application cycle and am excited for my future in the field of therapy.”

Graduate School Applicant

”I contacted Rachel for mentoring before my matriculation into graduate school and she was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable and eager to help. She answered all my questions thoroughly and gave me great tips on how to transition. She definitely eased my anxieties about taking that next step towards my career and keeping balance in my life. She provided me with links that will help prepare and guide me through the process as well. I look forward to keeping in touch with her.“

Alleyna A., Graduate School Candidate

Reviews for Hiring Interns Mentoring

 

Nervous about asking someone for help? Here’s a great icebreaker for you: go ahead and ask Rachel about how bright my eyes lit up after hearing about her idea for creating internship opportunities! I immediately hopped on board as I too share the same eagerness and passion for helping others and creating a team effort to work smarter, not harder. As Rachel walked me through the different processes involved, she presented with such great energy, compassion, and confidence. She explained things clearly and wowed me with her organization. If you’ve even considered taking on this type of role in your career, I highly recommend working with Rachel!”
Dr. Hannah Paull

If you are wanting to get started with interns in your private practice, look no further! Rachel is a wealth of information and resources. It is evident that she has spent countless hours fine-tuning this process to make it as seamless and efficient as possible. She also shares the amazing resources she created to make it easy to jump in right away. Rachel is excellent at meeting you where you are and tailoring the discussion to fit your needs and business model. I have no doubt any private practice owner or therapist would benefit greatly by learning from Rachel!”
Taylor Warren Ed.S LPC

Rachel has been an invaluable resource, providing a unique approach, support and direction for my start-up. She has challenged me to look and think outside the box, and develop a creative strategy to ensure my business grows rapidly. She took the time to learn about my business and helped me recruit team members to support our current growth. I can’t recommend Rachel enough for anyone who is facing challenges or is in need of direction.”

Silvana Ebong APC NCC

Reviews for New Therapist to Private Practice Mentoring 

When you approach a consultation call, the continuum of expectations can be overwhelming. You are not sure whether to expect results, challenges, brainstorming, etc. Rachel was very directive in helping to provide goals of the next steps to take. It was a miracle to show up with a “tornado of chaos”, yet walk away feeling that I have an idea of what I want to achieve. Rachel is very informative and has an endless list of resources! Despite feeling overwhelmed at each step, she has what feels like infinite amounts of suggestions. What stood out the most about my consultation call was Rachel’s humble and empathetic approach. She is extremely passionate about networking, marketing, and social media. Her authenticity and genuineness shows even over an hour Zoom call. Very grateful for her expertise and experience!”

Kirsten Williams APC NCC

“I contacted Rachel for assistance and ideas with marketing my private practice. Rachel not only answered my questions, but she went above and beyond my professional expectations. Rachel is a mastermind at marketing, organization, and business solutions. I appreciate Rachel’s competence and compassion and will continue to implement the strategies she outlined. “
Melissa Cammack, LPC

“Rachel turned out to be a critical resource for me as a young therapist working in private practice for the first time. I had no idea where to start and I was oblivious to the business-related knowledge that private practice requires. In just a short time, Rachel offered me more resources, tips, secrets and hacks than I could have hoped for. She obviously knew exactly what I was dealing with and that made me feel such relief. I owe it to my clients to be part of a well-organized business, and Rachel helped me get there.”

Laura A., MSW

“Rachel is a compassionate and knowledgeable counselor. She has helped me get on my feet as a recent Master’s graduate and she knows how to market yourself both online and in-person. If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed with the idea of where to get starting in building your own caseload, reach out to Rachel!”

Parisa P., MA

”Rachel has been an instrumental part of my growth as a counselor and professional. She has started her career out strong and is a hard working woman that is always willing to help others when they need it. She has put in a lot of work to learn and execute efficient ways to grow her practice and be available to clients.”

Alexi Johnson, APC

Rachel has helped me explore what private practice is about. Finding a niche is very important because it helps individualize you in the therapy world. She helped discuss why networking events are essential. Not only do you stand out to those who do not know your name but, it also helps with future referrals. I am thankful for individuals such as Rachel who provide education for those who are in the beginning of their career. It is an important asset to future generations in private practice.”

Rachel Barlev MSW

Rachel was so helpful during the mentor consultation. She provided me with so much insight in my career journey as a new counselor. She answered all of my questions and more! She really helped me organize my plans and next steps. She has so much knowledge and is so passionate about sharing with those entering the field. Her passion really showed in our consultation session. I will definitely be booking another session in the future!”
