Hi! I’m Rachel. I have worked in the mental health industry for 10 years. Currently, I am a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana and Utah. I hold a bachelors degree from the University of Vermont, and my masters degree in Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University. I am certified as a PACT couples counselor, an EMDR trauma therapist, and a play and sand tray therapist.
My approach is warm and relational, but I am also here to compassionately challenge old beliefs that no longer serve us. I know how rooted we can become in our own narratives, and how disconnecting this can be in our relationships. I believe in seeing and working with the whole person- including the ‘creatura’ or the creature within all of us.
I am welcoming you to come FULLY as yourself- I want to invite you into the wildness; into the places where we never let ourselves go- to be unabashedly ourselves.
TESTIMONIES:
"Rachel taught me how to cultivate self confidence and what honest communication looks like in all of my relationships. She gave me a safe space where I could be my most vulnerable and to find my true, authentic self. When doing EMDR with Rachel, I learned various techniques to cope with trauma. We also did family therapy with my Dad, Mom and brother. It was the most beautiful opportunity we’ve had to grow as a family. She advocated for each of us in the individual roles we play in our family unit. She gave us insight into how we can best support one another in the roles we play. Rachel helped me to see how my addiction has impacted those I’m closest to in my life, particularly during times when I was unwilling to look at my part in the situation. Therapy with Rachel is the best investment my family has made. My time spent with her has been truly miraculous. Rachel Rollins helped save our family and my life.

"When I chose to seek support and treatment for my addiction and mental health I was given the opportunity to work with Rachel as my therapist/counselor. My time with her was always incredibly valuable as I felt for the first time in that space that I was truly understood and seen. I was never given the answers to my problems but rather guided to finding my own answers and reasoning. This changed my perception of so many things about myself and about life itself. In a strange way I was able to experience love from another human being that I truly felt sought to understand me. I’ve thought about Rachel from time to time over the years and have always felt as though she saved me in so many ways when I believed I was utterly hopeless. I’ve wandered through life always questioning intentions of others, wondering if or why people cared about me. I’ve found in a few people throughout my time that I didn’t have to question whether or not they cared, and Rachel is one of those people. I was able to cry with her, I was able to feel like I could be honest with her and myself, I was able to feel safe. When I struggled with the loss of my Dad along with a divorce and single motherhood I fell back into addiction and when I needed support again I was welcomed back. She was there again to remind me I was loved and of my strength. I was at a point where I did not see a way out during this time and I have explained to others on my recovery journey: I was headed down a path a self destruction and fighting my addiction that didn’t want me walking towards the path finding myself again and being able to return back to my daughter. Rachel was able to speak to my addiction that was consuming my mind and my ability to think clearly. The addiction that speaks to me in my own voice and had convinced me for years to harm myself and others. Somehow her words and my trust in her kept me safe and I will always wonder how or why it was stronger than the viciousness of my disease."
