Novus Support

Services

Let me help you navigate your mental health journey.

I have over thirteen years of experience working with clients from different backgrounds and living with a variety of mental health conditions such as bipolar, depression, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, borderline disorder, trauma, psychosis disorders, and PTSD. My goal is to help clients learn to feel comfortable advocating for themselves and to take control of their mental health. There are many aspects to coaching and case management, but for the most part, it is helping clients learn how to cope with distress and gain confidence in their ability to understand and navigate their needs. When clients learn how to cope with distress, they can apply those skills to other settings such as school, employment and interpersonal relationships. Helping people manage a mental illness instead of letting it define them is an important part of my role.

Setting You up for success

Strategic collaboration

It’s all about the support system

Support systems are crucial for many reasons. First, they provide emotional support; having people to talk to can provide comfort, validation, and understanding during difficult times. Support systems also provide practical help which can look like assistance with daily tasks, problem solving, or navigating challenges. A support system also helps greatly with providing encouragement and motivation, especially during tough times. People get accountability from support system as well, promoting consistency in their efforts towards personal growth or recovery. Being a part of a support system fosters a sense of belonging and community, which is essential for mental and emotional well-being. And last, but not least, a support system can help teach coping strategies. Supportive individuals can share their experiences and techniques, offering new perspectives and approaches to problem solving. Overall a strong support system enhances resilience, promotes well-being, and plays a vital role in recovery from mental health issues or life changes. I collaborate with other providers and work with families to build a strong support system for my clients, focusing on individual needs. Once support is in place, a person has a solid foundation to continue to grow and transform.

Innovating Supportive Care

Meet the soul behind the support

Hi, I’m Rachel, it’s nice to meet you.

For the past fourteen years I have been working in the mental health field as a coach and case manager. I am also a person with lived experience which I believe helps me to understand my client’s struggles on a personal level, and identify what type of support they may need. I believe my genuine passion for helping others shines through in my work and I treasure the years I have spent in the mental health field and all it has taught me. I’m honored to be a part of my client’s lives in such a meaningful way. Having a career that allows me to contribute to my community has been the ultimate gift that I am extremely grateful for.

Testimonials

I have known Rachel Roessler for about ten years in which she has provided mental health companion services as well as life skills coaching for a number of my patients. She has demonstrated excellent talent working with an array of clients who have challenges such as those with serious mental illness, autism spectrum disorder, and substance use disorders. She works very collaboratively with me and other affiliated mental health providers. Most importantly she shows a tremendous compassion and care for her clients. I am thrilled to hear she is building a company focusing on affordable care called Novus Support Services.

Rachel came into my life professionally in an extremely difficult time, when physical and legal attacks and injuries were crippling my ability to maintain my physical and mental health as before. In the field, in person, and on the gorund, she was exactly what I needed in an advocate and case worker, and in retrospect the most important part of mental health services as a whole: active praxis. Rachel is the capable, informed, unassuming client-first advocate in waiting rooms, observation theaters, and endless bureaucratic lines for healthcare and disability benefits, all places and processes that are already overcomplicated and stressful when one doesn't need access to them, and frankly completely inaccessible when in crisis. Rachel is as driven, talented, experienced, and a maestro at her calling as the best to ever do it, and I owe a lot of my own agency moving forward to the help she rendered me at my most disordered.

I am writing this on behalf of my colleague, Rachel Roessler. I have worked with Rachel on many cases over the last ten years and have been consistently impressed with her professionalism and compassion. Her wide-ranging experience, sharp-eyes assessments and tireless problem solving are an invaluable asset, allowing the implementation of the therapist's work into the patient's daily life.
