Rachel Grier
Therapist
I am a Limited License Marriage and Family Therapist (LLMFT) working under the supervision of Sarah Harrier, MS, LMFT, CCTP. I earned my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. I am very passionate about this field and greatly enjoy the rewarding and intimate work that comes with being a systems-based therapist.
Prior to entering the field of therapy, I was an elementary special education teacher for 12 years. I also bring with me 5 years of teaching experience as a yoga instructor (plus many more as a student). I believe the practices of yoga, such as movement, breathwork, mindfulness, and meditation, can enhance the therapeutic experience.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, traveling, cooking, and spending quality time with my husband and our dog.
My Approach
I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking support with a variety of challenges. I am particularly passionate about working with couples. While I don’t have a particular area that I specialize in, I have experience working with those facing challenges pertaining to communication, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma.
I have developed an interest in Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems, as well as The Gottman Method for couples therapy. These are the therapeutic models that guide my practice. I am an avid learner; I am devoted to supporting the growth of the clients I work with and I am always seeking out professional learning opportunities and resources to strengthen my practice.
My goal is to create a therapeutic environment for all clients that feels safe and collaborative. Life can be incredibly challenging, and I believe we are all trying our very best given the set of circumstances we are working with. I recognize that coming to therapy can be a difficult choice that may be scary for many people. In our work together, I will honor where you are at, where you want to go together, and how you want to get there, all while acknowledging and utilizing the unique strengths and resources you bring with you to your therapeutic journey.
