Rachel Wills

Rachel Wills is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with adults with ADHD and co-occurring disorders. After living on both coasts' multiple times, she returned to her home state of Maryland and set down roots. She's active in her local long-term recovery community, synagogue and neighborhood. However, she used to admittedly, be 'all over the place' and couldn't choose just one profession and stick with it if her life depended on it, which it did. Ms. Wills was told by a child psychologist that the severity of her 'minimal brain dysfunction' (now commonly referred to as ADHD) would preclude her going to college. Yet, she completed two vastly different graduate school programs (the first while backpacking throughout the country and living in a consensus-based community).

Her constant sense of feeling 'different' and 'other-than' which once led her to abuse substances and job hop became her greatest asset - empathy. Today, Ms. Wills is proud to call herself a wildflower among orderly roses. She's still not the most organized but is fervent about helping others learn to become their own best advocate and embrace themselves for who they are.
