Rachel Bivens

Rachel Bivens is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (CA LMFT 140327) whose work centers on educating and empowering individuals and families.

She emphasizes advocacy, clear communication, and personal engagement while honoring the unique genetic and cultural differences present in each family, couple, child, and individual. Her practice is built on forming lasting relationships with community members, families, couples, caregivers, parents, and children, and she seeks opportunities to apply her expertise for positive social impact.

Rachel aims to help families, couples, children, and individuals move through challenges to create lasting change and contribute to a safe, healthy, and productive community through one-on-one engagement. She uses an educational, preventive, and strength-based approach and supports holistic self-improvement, encouraging intentional daily practices and continual personal growth.

With 8 years of experience addressing relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues, Rachel believes people hold strengths that can help them reshape their stories. Beginning therapy takes courage, and she acknowledges the importance of that first step.

Personally, Rachel identifies primarily as an African American woman with deep spiritual beliefs. She is a mother of nine and a Ya-Ya (grandmother) of seven, and her life experiences, professional background, and education inform her commitment to advocacy, empowerment, and fostering self-sufficiency for communities, families, caregivers, parents, and children.
