Rachel Duncan (she/her) Rachel Duncan, MA, ATR-P CFT (Candidate), Financial Therapist and Art Therapist
I founded the Money Healing Club to help mission-driven people deal with the emotional challenges of money.
While most personal finance education pushed for “will power” and “accountability, I have the radical notion that the best place to learn is where you feel safe, welcomed, and allowed to struggle and grow.
Club members come to the Club often feeling guilty about their money choices, and feeling overwhelmed by traditional financial advice. I provide a unique way to blend practical money guidance with creative insights with my background in Art Therapy.
Set down the budget and pick up your journal. Join me.
I also have a mental health practice in Colorado. my work has been featured in Bankrate and FinCon 2023.
