Rachel's core areas of focus include: working with adults with Attention Deficit HyperActivity Disorder (ADHD); alcohol use disorder and chemical dependency; anxiety; depression and mood disorders. She combines cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy techniques to help individuals better cope with extreme emotions and reactions.Rachel Leigh Wills wrote Soundtrack Of A Misfit: Adventures in ADD & Addiction as a means of reaching others who struggle with ADHD and/or co-occurring disorders, as well as for those who have an appreciation for the underdogs and late bloomers. She has been passionate about music since the age of two, when she bought her first LP by Paul McCartney and Wings because she loved the song Band on the Run. In her debut memoir, she weaves in her ardor for music throughout. Her eclectic musical influences include Chris Cornell; Duran Duran; P!NK; Fleetwood Mac; Eminem; K'Naan; and the Foo Fighters. She has been active in the local long-term recovery community and is open about her struggles with alcohol (primarily) in her work as a mental health therapist. When she isn't seeing clients, the author is likely spending time with her husband Mark and their beloved pets Elliott and Larry Katz (beagle-dachshund mix and mischievous black cat); writing, reading, listening to music, or exploring nature.view less
