About

Rachel Haynes, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Congratulations! You have taken the first step that many people are hesitant to take--a step into a new way of life, a life not free from problems, just a new way of looking at and dealing with the problems you face in your life. This is YOUR time--a time for you to give to yourself, which, in turn, you can then give back to others outside of yourself.

As a therapist, I am easy to talk to, I love to use humor when appropriate, and I encourage my clients to be the best they can through perseverance and self-determination.

It can be challenging to participate in therapy. I work to create a safe, supportive, and productive environment to address the issues that are challenging for you. I believe in the process and have seen amazing changes in my clients when they are willing to step outside of their comfort zone and try something new. At this time I am accepting Magellan Healthcare, Cigna, Value Options and Triwest. I am in the process of getting credentialed with several others. I am practicing as an out-of-network provider until then and I can supply a superbill for partial reimbursement from your insurance company.

Approach
Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy celebrates the uniqueness of each of us as human beings. It acknowledges that we are aware of
ourselves and our world. It also acknowledges that we can change our existence by exploring in depth how we have formed our view of
ourselves and the world. Then, we have the choice to keep what supports our fuller living and let go of what inhibits our fuller living.

Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy also involves the exploration of certain universal themes of existence. These include ideas that we
all grapple with, such as:

engaging in life while knowing we all die
finding meaning when confronting emptiness
needing to be in relationship and needing to be alone
wanting freedom while having responsibility

Principles of Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy:

Supports the exploration of what it means to exist, and what it means to be human.
Supports the sovereignty of each individual’s unique subjective experience.
Supports the intuitive and irrational so we can move into balance with the rational and methodical.
Supports the attitude of being open to include the full spectrum of feelings and thoughts of which human beings are capable.
Supports Maslow’s higher values of being human such as Truth, Beauty and Justice.
Supports people to be more fully alive and vital.
Supports one’s capacity to actualize in their lives fully.
Supports the belief that human beings, if supported to be their authentic selves, will ultimately act in the best interests of themselves,
of each other, of their community, and of the planet as a whole.

Services Rachel works from an Existential-Humanistic perspective. This approach involves the exploration of how you can live your life more consciously. This allows for an unfolding process of discovering yourself. It assumes you are responsible for how you exist in the world and how you respond to the conditions and challenges presented to you.
In the exploration of your inner life, you find your unique identity. By listening to yourself in the moment, you discover who you are and find your place in the world. You are able to live with integrity and authenticity.
The results of this approach are a greater awareness of the wide range of choices we have, the ability to make effective decisions, an increased sense of personal power, and the discovery of deeper meaning in your life.
