Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches You Can Trust
Because your
Mental Health Matters
Dr. Rachael Herrington Roldan
ABOUT
WHO I CAN HELP
My experience and training enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care utilizing evidence-based practices to diagnose and treat a number of mental health disorders. I would love to help if you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, fear, worry, panic, depression, intrusive thoughts, obsessional doubt, intolerance of uncertainty, mania, or psychosis. I have experience treating a broad range of clinical problems and would love to help you get your life back!
Many of my past and current clients are just going through a rough time and need additional support from someone outside their immediate circles. Others have a diagnosable clinical disorder such as OCD, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Specific Phobias, Panic Disorder, Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia. I primarily work with adults but see children and adolescents with specific concerns within my areas of specialty, particularly those with OCD.
EDUCATION AND CLINICAL TRAINING
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Oklahoma State University with my Bachelor of Science (BS) in Psychology in 2002. I earned my Master of Science (MS) and Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD), both in Clinical Psychology from Texas A&M University in 2004 and 2008, respectively. As part of the doctorate program, I completed my Pre-Doctoral Clinical Psychology Internship at Baylor College of Medicine (2007-2008) and stayed an additional year there to complete my Postdoctoral Clinical Psychology Residency/Fellowship (2008-2009).
I have experience using evidence-based treatments to successfully help clients with a variety of clinical concerns, and using a number of different treatment approaches. We can work collaboratively to discuss which approach may best meet your needs!
Treatment Approaches
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP or EX/RP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in Youth and Adults for Tics and Tourette's
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I trained initially at the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) at UCLA in 2011 and have treated numerous clients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder since that time. The BTTI is an in-depth, three-day intensive training course in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for mental health professionals who are treating individuals with OCD and related disorders (see iocdf.org for more information).
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in Youth and Adults for Tics and Tourette's
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I attended two different, two-day intensive trainings in 2023 for Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for use with OCD. This is an evidence-based treatment for OCD that has been in use in Europe since the 1990s but is newer in the United States. This approach is useful for all forms of OCD but is particularly attractive for clients dealing with some of the lesser known (and more taboo) forms of OCD such as scrupulosity, pedophilia OCD, etc. (see icbt.online for more information).
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in Youth and Adults for Tics and Tourette's
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in Youth and Adults for Tics and Tourette's
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD and other Trauma and Stress Disorders
I attended a training on how to utilize Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) in Youth and Adults as a way to further support clients with co-morbid OCD. Research indicates co-morbidity rates anywhere from 10-50% across studies. Most of my experience with tics is in the context of treating OCD, though I'd be happy to consult with any individuals with Tourette's or Chronic Tic Disorders.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD and other Trauma and Stress Disorders
Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) for Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD and other Trauma and Stress Disorders
I was trained in EMDR in 2016 and was subsequently certified by EMDRIA to use this treatment approach for individuals who have experienced trauma. EMDR is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions (see EMDR.com or emdria.org for more information).
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) for Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) for Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
I trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy in 2023 and underwent advanced training in 2024. This approach works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions (see acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com for more information).
Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) for Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) for Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) for Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders
For a few years starting in 2010, I was part of a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) research study where I learned to provide Individual Resiliency Therapy (IRT) and Family Education (FE) to those experiencing a first episode of psychosis and their families. I was the first therapist out of 34 sites in 21 states to be certified to provide that treatment as part of the study (see raiseetp.com for more information).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
CBT is an evidence-based treatment for many different psychological problems. I have been providing therapy using this approach to a number of different clinical concerns since I was in my doctorate program at Texas A&M University. I enjoy using this approach to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and panic attacks, as well as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and other disorders (see abct.org for more information).
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
I was introduced to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) during the two years I spent at Baylor College of Medicine, where I ran DBT skills training groups. From 2014-2015, I completed one year as part of a comprehensive DBT team where I provided both individual therapy and skills training in a group setting. While I am not currently on a DBT team, I can provide DBT-informed treatment interventions (see dbtmo.org for more information).
Psychological Evaluations and Testing
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, etc.
Psychological Evaluations and Testing
I am qualified to provide comprehensive psychological testing for a variety of referral questions. Psychological evaluations allow us to learn valuable information about mental health and personality in a relatively short period of time. This information can inform treatment and often allows clients to gain more from their efforts in individual therapy. Though this was a huge part of my training, I currently conduct these evaluations on a very limited basis.
