Getting to know Rachel Calderon

Hello! I'm Rachel, and welcome to Empower Therapy. With over 11 years of experience as a therapist, I am passionate about creating a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can process and learn evidence-based mental health skills. I value cultural humility and love working with clients from all backgrounds, ensuring that our therapeutic space respects and embraces diversity. My approach to therapy is intersectional, empowerment-focused, and trauma-informed, with a strong emphasis on psychoeducation. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My specialties include working with trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and supporting those in the LGBTQIA+ community. As a sex work-affirmative therapist, I operate from a harm reduction framework. Being a Mexican-American and native Spanish speaker, I take pride in providing therapy to the Latinx community, understanding the nuances of family dynamics, culture, and traditions. I earned my MSW from the University of Denver in 2015. Following graduation, I spent seven years as a generalist therapist in community mental health, where I facilitated various groups, including empowerment, chronic pain, grief and loss, relapse prevention, bipolar, and DBT groups. Additionally, I have experience supervising new therapists seeking licensure for three years. Many of us were not taught how to name, process, and address dysfunctional thinking patterns, which can significantly impact our mental health as adults. As your therapist, I aim to use empathy, kindness, and appropriate humor to empower you to set boundaries assertively and practice self-love. Feel free to schedule directly into my calendar, message me through SonderMind, or call me at for scheduling. Please note that I am currently offering virtual sessions only. I look forward to meeting you!
