About
I’m Rachelle Bodle, MFT, founder of Therapist Effect Therapy. My own childhood “parentification”—stepping into caregiving roles far too early—fuels my passion for guiding adults who carry similar burdens: perfectionism, people-pleasing, identity loss, and intergenerational trauma. I provide trauma-informed, affirming care for survivors of trauma, sexual abuse, & LGBTQ+ clients (including transgender care). My mission is to help you reclaim your true self, set healthy boundaries, and build lasting resilience in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space. Therapy meets you where you are. Rachelle combines talk therapy with Cognitive Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy to forge a personalized, flexible path. Direct yet empathetic, she helps you shift self-critical patterns, build practical skills, and rewrite old family stories into strengths-based narratives.
