Heal and Reconnect to Your True Self
Trauma can disconnect us from ourself, others, and the world around us. Your path to returning home begins here.
Welcome to Returning Home LLC
Our Mission
At Returning Home LLC, our mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate care to individuals, and families struggling with mental health issues and lingering affects of traumatic experiences. I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation. If you see that I do not accept your insurance please reach out to me and we can discuss sliding scale options. I believe that we are our most authentic and joyful selves when we are young children as long as we had the opportunity to develop secure attachments and our needs were met. However throughout life we can become detached, critical, disconnected from ourselves due to trauma, societal pressures and expectations that put us in boxes. Whether you felt at home within yourself when you were young or never developed a sense of home and safety, my goal is to go on the journey with you to help you return home to yourself. The more we work on ourselves individually the more we are able to to build the world we wish to see. We are all drops in the ocean so lets start changing the tides.
About Me
Hi, Im Rachel Taggart Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in the mental health field since 2018. I have a wide range of experience working with individuals and families struggling with mental illness, and saftey related issues including suicidality, substance misuse and abuse and neglect. I have experience in serving the veteran population at the VA hospital in Providence and have seen and treated individuals with complex trauma from childhood, combat, and moral injury. Additionally I worked as a victim advocate where I found my passion for helping those who have experienced sexual abuse and assault regain their sense of safety in the world and regain a sense of autonomy, agency, and sense of self. I am passionate about helping survivors of all forms of abuse and trauma heal to gain more control in their lives to help them build the lives they want to live. Trauma leaves us fragmented and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can often lead people to feel like they don't know who they are or like they have no control in their lives. I am here to provide a space for us to learn to become curious and compassionate about the parts of us that developed to help us survive. In this process we can better see what survival strategies are no longer serving us so that we can begin to shift from reactivity to a space where we can respond to life within and around us intentionally to build the lives we want to live.
