"Rebecca is the ONLY therapist who has made me feel comfortable enough to continue therapy. I was very picky after a traumatic first experience years ago with someone else, but my first session with Rebecca restored my faith in seeking out mental help. For the first time in nine years, I feel hopeful for my future. If you need a truly caring and experienced trauma therapist, she is the best of the best, and her staff are just as kind, caring, and helpful as she is."
