Rebekah has quickly become my ride or die when it comes to therapy. She listens, with compassion and no judgment. She is kind, warm, and super present. And she offers practical helpful suggestions and in a non threatening, warm, approachable manner. She truly cares. I love my weekly sessions with her. She’s helped me so much.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rebekah is one of the best therapists that I’ve ever worked with. She is really engaged and listens to everything that I say. She makes me really excited for therapy each week. I am so glad to have found her.
Rebekah takes the time to understand the full you. She listens well and remembers details from previous sessions. She asks questions that help dig down deep into why you are feeling the way you are feeling. We’re only a few sessions in and I could not be happier to have her as my therapist!
Rebekah is a wonderful therapist who does really well with helping you find ways to communicate and reach your self improvement goals. She has qualities that I look for in a Christian therapist. I like that she includes biblical perspectives in her counseling and how it gives you a different way to think and communicate. I definitely recommend her.
