About us
Chime Mental Health
Chime Mental Health Services is newly established as of 2021. The name Chime comes from some of my favorite words associated with mental health; Courage, happiness, integrity, mindfulness and empathy. These are all words that are integral to a person having a life worth living.
The goal of Chime Mental Health Services is to provide our clients with a safe space to work on life stressors, mental health symptoms, relationship issues or other life experiences that have led to challenges. Clients will be heard, supported and validated in how they are feeling.
The choice to begin therapy should not be taken lightly or impulsively. We all experience challenges that can interfere with our day-to-day living. Finding the path you are meant to be on can be difficult, but it will be worth it in the end.
About our team
Rochelle Rheingans, M.A., L.P.C.C.
My name is Rochelle Rheingans. I am a Licensed Practicing Clinical Counselor. I have been working in private practice for nine years now. I recently decided to establish my own office and do telehealth to be able to stay home and work, spend more time with family, and avoid the long commute. I can wear slippers to work instead of uncomfortable shoes, one of my favorite perks!
I am a graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead and Adler Graduate School. I had worked in one agency since graduating in 2012. I have built a client base of various folks from various walks of life. I enjoy working with people of varying diagnoses and life challenges. I enjoy a good challenge and will take on clients that some other clinicians may need to be more open to.
I have specific training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I use various interventions from psycho-education to mindfulness skills, communication skills to supportive reflection. I am forthright and honest with clients. I am compassionate and use active listening skills to help clients gain new insight into their challenges and learn how to face them head-on.
Many people have asked me, "How do you sit and listen to people's problems all day?" my response varies, but I always explain, "I am learning right along with them." We are doing this dance together to learn steps from each other. The client can then use those steps to better his/her/their own life, and I will continue to teach the next person steps that work for them. I am here as an unbiased person to give guidance, support, and validation when we are not getting it in ways that we need from our loved ones.
I live in Southern Minnesota in the country with my 14-year-old daughter. We have two dogs and one cat. We work hard and play hard; we enjoy traveling, and I enjoy watching my daughter play sports.
