Meet Rachel
Hello! My name is Rachel Berglund, and I am the founder, supersivor, and lead therapist at Empowering Hope, LLC. I graduated from UNC in 2020 with my masters in Marriage, Family, Couple therapy. I also have the Level 1 Gottman training and introductory Family-Based Therapy(FBT) training. I specialize in anxiety, communication skills, relationships, emotional processing, and eating/body image concerns. My goal is always to help you reach your full potential, whatever that may look like. I am here to walk this journey with you.
I see therapy as a relationship, one that we build together. I take skills from multiple areas of counseling; Narrative, DBT, Attachment, and Mindfulness to name a few. All of these frameworks will help me work together with you to reach your goals. You are not in this alone, and we will work at your pace.
I also see supervision as a relationship. My goal is to help you become the therapist you want to be, while helping you learn and grow in that process. I take a self of the therapist approach, and want to help you develop your personality with clients, who you want to be as a therapist, modality, and help with that little thing called imposter syndrome we all know and love.
As I am working towards my full AAMFT Supervisor designation I will be working under the mentorship of Kaitlin Douglas, LMFT.

Options for Supervision
Sliding scale options are available for all supervision options. Please speak with Rachel about what is available at the moment.
At this time Rachel is only able to sign off on licensure hours for MFTCs or LPCCs.
Individual- is for those looking for one on one with your supervisor. We will focus on learning self of the therapist, modalities, ethics, skills for in the room with clients, and other topics that may arise together.
Individual supervision is scheduled in 60 minute time frames at $100 for outside supervision(you are working for yourself/agency that signs your notes, has additional supervision), and the main need of supervision through Rachel is to gain MFT supervision hours towards licensure, or gain a relational perspective on caseload. Or $120 if Rachel will be our sole supervisor supporting you with your caseload. Please be aware that unless you are working or contracted with Empowering Hope Rachel will not be able to sign off on your clinical notes.
Group I- is for those who are looking to gain relational group experience. This group is geared towards those within their 1st year practicing, or those who would like more assistance with growth and development of skills, modalities, or understanding of therapy as a whole from a relational perspective.
Group supervision is scheduled for 60 minute time frames at $35. These will be provided in an open group format with 2-6 supervisees per group.
Group II- is for those who are looking for more space for clinical consultations, or gaining outside perspectives on cases, from a relational perspective with other supervisees and an AAMFT Provided Supervisor Candidate.
Group supervision is scheduled for 60 minute time frames at $25. These will be provided in an open group format with 2-6 supervisees per group. Please remember that as this group is with other therapists outside of your practice that your clients information is to be kept confidential. No names, or indentifying factors are to be used when discussing/consulting on a case.
