RACHEL WHITE
LCSW
We all experience challenges in life that can be difficult and may need additional help. Feelings of neglect, loss, rejection, fear, guilt, and pain are normal, but they can get in our way of true happiness. We are trying to navigate through life the best we can, but sometimes we feel lost and it can feel impossible to find your path. This is where I can help.
I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. We will create a plan together to help achieve your goals. The best views come through the hardest climbs.

KNOW YOUR THERAPIST
WHAT DID YOU GET YOUR DEGREE(S) IN AND WHERE FROM?
I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Dixie State University and then my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Colorado State University.
SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
I have worked in the mental health field for the last 10 years working with multiple populations including children, adolescents, and adults struggling with eating disorders, addiction, self harm, depression, anxiety, a wide range of mental health disorders, self-esteem and overall wellness. I have worked at a variety of facilities including domestic violence shelters, DCFS, residential treatment centers, substance abuse treatment, addiction groups, and community mental health centers.
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A THERAPIST?
The reason I chose the field of mental health and to become a therapist is to help people find the strength within themselves to see their own abilities and qualities.
One of my favorite quotes is "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken"-Oscar Wilde. We all come with our own 'superpower', it's about finding yours and not comparing yourself to others. You are you. Embrace it.
WHATS YOUR THERAPEUTIC APPROACH?
My approach to therapy is to help empower you and help find the answers you are seeking within yourself, while offering an unbiased ear with therapeutic supported intervention. I often tell my clients that I don't have all the answers, and my job is to help you realized you have the ability to work through and navigate these difficult challenges on your own with the skills and confidence we have learned in sessions.
WHAT KIND OF HOMEWORK OR ASSIGNMENTS DO YOU GIVE CLIENTS?
Due to only having one hour a week with my clients, I usually give them a small assignment each week so they can work on implementing what they are learning in session to their own life. However, if homework isnt done before session no big deal, we will work around it!
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST SESSION WITH YOU?
Relax. Breathe. Be yourself. Often times before an intake session, clients express high amounts of anxiety, fear, and panic not knowing "how it's going to go".
The best advice I can offer is be yourself. Be real. You are in control of your session and treatment. If you don't like your therapist, thats okay. Let's find someone that works best for you. You are in control.
