A Relational, Depth-Oriented Approach to Therapy
Rachel Floyd, LAC
I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy grounded in experiential and emotion-focused concepts, with in-person sessions in Scottsdale, Arizona and secure telehealth throughout the state. My work is relational and attachment-based. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, I attend to how emotional patterns, attachment history, and present-moment experience shape how a person lives and relates.
HOW I WORK
I approach therapy as a collaborative process. We slow things down and stay with experience as it unfolds, noticing emotions, body responses, and relational patterns in real time.
I’m attentive not only to what you talk about, but to how things show up: moments of tension, shifts in emotion, places you pull back or lean forward. These moments often carry important information.
Change emerges through awareness and contact — through feeling something new, not just understanding it differently.
FIGURE & GROUND
THERAPY
Figure and ground refers to the way certain experiences come into focus while others fade into the background. In therapy, this means attending to what feels most present and meaningful, and understanding it within the context of relationship and lived experience.
WORKING TOGETHER
As a therapist, I value depth, curiosity, and emotional honesty. I approach the work with care and thoughtfulness, trusting that change emerges through awareness and meaning-making rather than pressure or quick fixes.
CREDENTIALS
I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in Arizona, practicing under supervision. I have completed additional training in EMDR and Emotion-Focused Therapy and engage in ongoing consultation and continuing education.
