Message from Rebecca

I'm so glad you found your way here. I am a New York State licensed therapist with over 16 years of experience. I am passionate about creating a comfortable and validating therapeutic environment where you know that you are free to be your most honest and open self. I am genuinely invested in getting to know you while nonjudgmentally exploring and supporting your unique complexities and challenges. In a therapeutic relationship, I value down-to-earth communication, humor when appropriate, and authenticity. I hope that from the very first day we work together, you get the sense that you are no longer alone in carrying any burdens weighing on you. We will be a team and navigate everything together. I provide supportive, strength-based therapy for clients facing life transitions, those experiencing challenging relationship dynamics or navigating dating, and for people who are impacted by issues related to reproductive health (infertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum, STIs, parenthood). I also work with many clients who are artists so I have experience supporting those navigating the complexities of being a creative professional. I have a background in Creative Arts Therapy (drama therapy, specifically). Drama therapeutic theory still informs my clinical lens (and gives you some insight into my personal passion for and understanding of the arts), but I currently offer pretty much exclusively talk psychotherapy in my private practice. My style is warm and affirming with an emphasis on empowering those with whom I work. We often get so stuck in our own well-worn patterns that we start to believe we have fewer options than we actually have. Our patterns trick us into thinking there is no escape from our life circumstances. Sometimes all it takes is caring and engaged therapeutic support to unlock new possibilities and pathways. I know that taking a deep look inward can be intimidating, which is why I do everything I can to create an experience that feels like home to you. I know that you are the foremost expert on you, and I want to be there to support you in unlocking your greatest potential and reaching the goals that you set for yourself. Taking the leap to engage in the therapeutic process is making the beautifully radical statement that you are going to prioritize your own needs so that you can be a more engaged, fulfilled, and peaceful version of yourself. I hope our work together can be a space where you get to breathe, reflect, work through obstacles, and give yourself the time you deserve. Please feel free to email and schedule a free 15 minute consultation call so we can learn a bit more about each other and determine if this is the right therapeutic fit!
