About the practice
Rachelle S. Bradley, ND
The care offered at the Heartland Naturopathic Clinic is provided by Rachelle S. Bradley, ND. She received an undergraduate premedical degree in human biology and a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.) from the National University of Natural Medicine (formally National College of Naturopathic Medicine) in Portland, Oregon. In 1982 she completed a post-graduate residency program in homeopathy at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Bradley has maintained her license as a naturopathic physician in Washington State. Along with using many of the common naturopathic treatment modalities, Dr. Bradley has specialized in homeopathy. She also recently added extensive training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a psychotherapy modality. So she now offers standalone psychotherapy (along with her naturopathy, homeopathy, and nutrition services).
SCOPE OF PRACTICE IN NEBRASKA
In Nebraska naturopaths are not currently licensed because of the political environment. This means Dr. Bradley may not legally function as a physician, diagnosis, provide emergency care, or replace the necessary services of a licensed primary care provider (also see the Disclaimer webpage). Since she specializes in the treatment of people with chronic health problems she can rely on the patient’s primary care practitioner to do any diagnostics needed, while she provides the naturopathic treatment modalities (i.e., nutrition and supplements, herbs, homeopathy, etc.). Dr. Bradley focuses on treating the whole person (not the disease), so many people are still able to recover their health despite these limitations.
NEBRASKA LICENSURE
While no naturopathic licensure is available in Nebraska, Dr. Bradley has two licenses in Nebraska.
She is licensed as a Mental Health Practitioner and her standalone psychotherapy service is called Solutions Counseling. She is a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and primarily uses IFS in this practice. Each counseling client is treated as an individual, without judgment, with the emphasis on deep healing and creating real change. Dr. Bradley takes a shame-free approach that sees most psychological symptoms as signs that the client’s system is trying its best to restore balance and/or protect itself from the difficult situations and traumas that they have experienced. Mental/emotional healing is possible.
She is also licensed in Nebraska as a Medical Nutrition Therapist. This is the license used by registered dietitians to practice medical nutrition therapy. It allows her to offer clinical nutrition. In this practice clinical nutrition is practiced as a part of her naturopathic approach to each patient. Its focus is on helping each patient recover and maintain their health using individually tailored diet and lifestyle, specific nutrients, plant substances (herbs), supplements, and nutraceuticals.
“No treatment can “heal” you – at best it can only support and stimulate your own system’s self-healing.”
