Cook Children's Medical Center
Hello--I am Rachel Grimes, a licensed clinical social worker and clincal therapist in the Cook Children's Medical Center CF care center in Forth Worth, TX. I have been working with the CF population for just about four years. I am a military spouse of 20 years and have been fortunate to have lived and worked all over the world. We have two teenage daughters and two rescue black labs and have settled nicely in Texas.
I am currently working on my doctorate of behavioral health through Cummings Graduate Institue and am scheduled to graduate in 2024. I received my MSW from the University of West Florida in 2013, and my BS from Elon College in 1998. I have trained extensively in trauma therapy and am certified in both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also well trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI). I tend to seek out opportunties to use EMDR as much as I can because it works!
This is my first time attending the NACFC in person and I am very excited. I virtually facilitated a round table discussion in 2021 and virtually presented on MI in 2022. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with my fellow CF care team members from around the country.
