Rachel VanBuskirk, LMSW

Portal Point Counseling
Entrepreneur

Rachel VanBuskirk, LMSW is a mental health therapist with over 10 years of experience in her field. In 2018, Rachel opened Portal Point Counseling. Due to the high volume of counseling requests, Rachel soon hired three therapists to join her, signed a long-term lease in 2020 when COVID hit, and pivoted to offer virtual options. Portal Point—which is now a million-dollar practice—is currently home to 10 therapists and supports hundreds of clients weekly in person and virtually, with plans to welcome additional therapists soon. Rachel maintains a full client load, along with overseeing the day-to-day business operations. Known for her empathetic and non-judgmental approach to therapy, Rachel works with clients from diverse backgrounds, including adults, adolescents, couples and families.

Rachel says, “What motivated me was the desire to help and empower even more people. Clients but also other clinicians. Having a private practice meant I was able to share the opportunity for other clinicians to love their work, make a difference, have work-life balance, and achieve financial success, as well.”
