Rachael Bronk^LCSW^Therapist
Rachael has called Colorado home since 2009. She completed her BA at CU Boulder and her Masters in Social Work at Smith College. Between the two, she worked in both middle and high schools, a shelter for victims of domestic and dating violence, adult outpatient, and wilderness therapy settings.
Rachael grounds her clinical practice in attachment, relational, and trauma theories, with an emphasis on client nervous system regulation. Rachael's approach acknowledges and celebrates each client's unique identities and incorporates her training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, TF-CBT, CAMS, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Her strength-based approach and anti-oppressive framework make her a fierce advocate for client empowerment. Rachael sees mental health as a journey to heal attachment wounds with the trajectory towards a sound relationship with self and others. She loves supporting clients to find internal understanding and develop new skills so they can thrive!
In her free time, Rachael can be found adventuring up and down the mountains of Colorado- preferably either on skis or a bike.
