Rachel Tenney, LCSW
I have personally benefited from the healing power animals have to offer and knew from a young age I wanted to work with them. I obtained my MSW in Social Work from the University of Utah and have since specialized in working with OCD, anxiety, depression, self-injury, and trauma. I utilize evidence-based modalities in my therapy approach such as CBT, DBT, and ACT. I am currently level 1 trained in Natural Lifemanship and Bronze level trained by the Human Equine Alliance for Learning (H.E.A.L). I strongly believe in a client-centered approach to therapy and hope to work alongside you to help you achieve your goals.
