Bio

Welcome! My name is hoppingpen and I am a veteran listener on 7cups for more than seven years. I live in the Midwest USA and I am sooo close to earning my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling! (1 semester left)

I've worked in mental health for 19 years, and my interests and clientele include; children with significant disabilities and their families, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry settings, foster care worker, special education and behavioral disorders

My lived experience is in LGBTQ+ issues, PTSD, OCD, GAD, Bipolar and mood disorders, disability and chronic health conditions, trauma, and panic attacks. I am also familiar with working with eating disorders, caregiver fatigue, psychopharmacology, social anxiety, grief, substance abuse and self-harm.

I refer to other listeners for concerns about intimacy/relationships, domestic violence, BPD, exercise motivation/weight management and financial/work stress, as I do not have the necessary experience to sufficiently address these issues at this time.

My theoretical orientation is person-centered and existential, though what is most important is that I am here, I am a fellow survivor, and I am happy and willing to listen. Best wishes, hoppingpen.

The absolute best. The best listener and replies fast and gives great advice. Really there to help with absolutely no judgment . Helped me with my biggest struggle and I feel a lot better.

This listener has perfect listening qualities. Helped me stay calm and mindful .Whilst helping me to see the bigger picture. I felt understood and I came away from this chat feeling valued. They were here when I needed someone and ill forever be thankful to them. This person will go far in life, so many qualities in one person.

I can never thank you enough. When there was nobody for me you listened and held my hand and brought me back up. Thank you so much.

Nice listener

Helped a lot

Thanks for staying so long and being so reassuring, safety and company are the best ingredients for an environment were we can talk about those things we are.scared of facing.

very helpful! and very kind! she made me feel so much better!

hoppingpen is a very down to earth, honest and kind individual. They are willing to relate to you in anyway they can; and if you can't relate, they are definitely a good listener.

Not only was the conversation about the bad, but the good that comes with life. I personally can't wait to talk to hoppingpen again!

She was very helpful and helped me realise what I am going through with empathy and compassion

I refuse to rate a person a number system. There should be one question asked here and that is "do you think the person gave an honest effort to of help in the manner you presented yourself to them" and my answer here is yes.

This was really a great and wonderful chat. I've had some difficulty dealing with PTSD and hoppingpen really helped me through what I was going through. Once I talked it out and got feedback, she made me feel a thousand percent more empowered and worthy than I did going into the chat. If you're having any difficulty, or if you just want to vent it out, hoppingpen is a wonderful listener.

did great job, awesome listener, very caring

You did an awesome job and assisting me and allowing me to come to terms with my feelings. I felt more than comfortable talking with you. You're a great listener and hope that you go on to help more people like myself. You're doing a great thing by helping others.

Amazing. She is the most impressive person I have ever met. I am so thankful for my opportunity to chat with her. She never hesitated, was so helpful and answered all my questions.

Honestly a fantastic listener. Probably the best help I've ever gotten with my issue, even from other people with the same issues. And it was also just a pleasant talk in general as well, it felt like I was talking to a friend.

She was pretty helpful and empathetic and understanding.

Rachel was amazing! She asked great fact finding questions to get to the root of my issue and offered up lots of helpful advice. Shes truly awesome!

She is an amazing individual with kindness in her heart. Sweet and caring.

Hoppingpen was so kind and understanding. She could relate to my problem/situation and showed empathy. She was also able to show me another perspective on my situation. Really got me thinking and that was really helpful. She was willing to let me say everything I wanted to get off my chest. And she was able to create a atmosphere where it was quite easy for me to talk about very difficult and emotional issues. Thank you so much! 💜 Would recommend talking to her to anyone who's searching for a very sensitive, caring and non judgemental listener.

She was completely honest and understanding. I felt so easy to talk to her and I'll probably come back to her again if I feel like I need help. She's like talking to an old friend.

She is just awesomeeeee💕💕💕

She is really easy to talk to, like talking to an old friend. She is also very considerate with her answers.

Nice and friendly breaking stereotype American personality (which I had assumed of Americans )

She's amazing... she just let me talk and talk and go begrudgingly through all my history. I just needed to tell someone and she was a perfect listener.

Very helpful & very friendly.
