Rachel Oxley (she/her/hers), LICSW,
Rachel obtained her MSW through The University of Iowa in 2015. She has been practicing in a variety of clinical settings and with diverse populations since this time, including small children in play therapy settings, in-patient treatment for sex offenders, and support for couples and families. Rachel herself is a proud queer identified woman, and her greatest passion is found in supporting and celebrating LGBTQIA+ youth, couples, adults, and families. Rachel has been conducting secondary assessments to support gender affirming procedures for approximately 5 years, using WPATH and gender affirming therapy models to inform this process. She enjoys educating the loved ones of those transitioning through cultivating a compassionate and non-judgmental environment. Rachel holds a therapeutic and institutional philosophy that regardless of knowledge and education we are collectively in a fluid growth process. She wants the spaces she creates to honor all identities, including ways in which BIPOC, those with disabilities, spirituality, and neurodivergence intersect with queer identities. As such, she continues to actively participate in continuing education that advances her own learning and awareness in support of this work.
