RACHEL HVEEM
CSW
I use evidence-based approaches that view a person’s reality of themself that is developed through different facets that are socially, biologically, spiritually, and culturally evolved to become a person's sense of self. A person is constructed of multiple layers that often hold contradictory truths about themselves and that might contradict each other and could be the source of internal conflict. These conflicts can be the things that keep us from living our life to the fullest. Feeling heard in a safe space often opens us up for healing.

KNOW YOUR THERAPIST

I received my undergrad from BYU in special education: severe disabilities and received my Masters in Social Work from USU.
SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
---
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A THERAPIST?
I love relationships. Making connections with another human being that allows me to feel safe, heard, and understood are the times when I have felt most alive in my life. I love being with people and sharing their sacred healing space with them. I love to watch people grow and develop and gain new skills along the way.
WHATS YOUR THERAPEUTIC APPROACH?
I use evidence-based approaches that view a person’s reality of themself that is developed through different facets that are socially, biologically, spiritually, and culturally evolved to become a person's sense of self. A person is constructed of multiple layers that often hold contradictory truths about themselves and that might contradict each other and could be the source of internal conflict. These conflicts can be the things that keep us from living our life to
the fullest. Feeling heard in a safe space often opens us up for healing.
WHAT KIND OF HOMEWORK OR ASSIGNMENTS DO YOU GIVE CLIENTS?
As the client, you get to be in the driver's seat. Together we will work to discover what steps you can take to begin to heal and live the life that you always wanted while developing your own strengths.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST SESSION WITH YOU?
First, congratulations on taking the big step to get into therapy. It is not always easy to get into therapy and it is an act of courage. Second, you can prepare for what goals you want to set in the session. Third, make a list of any questions that you might have for me.
