Rachel Frainey

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Arizona. I graduated from ASU with my Master of Social Work degree in 2021 and have been in practice since. I hold certifications in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through PESI, and I have completed a postgraduate certificate in Analytical Psychology & Neo-Jungian Studies at Pacifica University. I love the outdoors, creativity, fitness, and nutrition and often incorporate aspects into my therapeutic practice.

Typically a good fit for my practice is someone who is seeking to understand different aspects of their inner experiences, wants to approach trauma/anxiety/depression in a holistic way, seeks to develop greater self compassion, and/or is feeling ready to heal deep seated wounds from the past.

My approach integrates depth psychology, inner parts work, and somatic awareness. I believe in treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit, rather than just addressing symptoms. In our work together, we will explore the deeper origins of your current struggles, seeking the hidden meaning beneath the surface. As insight emerges, you may come to recognize your symptoms not as enemies, but as messengers from the unconscious guiding you toward greater self understanding and inner wholeness.

My aim is to meet you exactly where you are at and develop realistic, attainable goals for meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where clients can explore their challenges, discover their authentic selves, and develop practical skills for lasting transformation. My background in both traditional and complementary healing modalities allow us to create a personalized therapeutic experience that honors your individual journey.
