Welcome to Redefining You Counseling Services!

Hello and welcome to Redefining You Counseling Services, LLC. My name is Rachel Funnell, and I am a Licensed Independent Marriage and Family Therapist (IMFT, LMFT) in Ohio and Florida. I specialize in working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families to support emotional wellbeing, healthier relationships, and meaningful personal growth.

My approach is strength-based and solution-focused, helping clients build on their existing strengths while developing practical tools and strategies they can apply in everyday life. Together, we will identify patterns that may be impacting your thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and overall wellbeing — both individually and within the systems and environments you live in.

Depending on your needs and goals, I incorporate evidence-based therapy approaches including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for ages 2–7

  • Parent-Child Interaction Therapy - Older Child (PCIT-OC) for ages 7-10

  • Parent-Child Interaction Therapy - Selective Mutism (PCIT-SM)

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy

  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child or teen, your relationship, or your family as a whole, I am here to help. Together, we will determine the therapeutic approach that best fits your needs and work toward creating lasting, positive change.

I also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to answer any questions and help determine whether we are the right fit for one another.
