My communication style may be described as lax, as I feel this allows for the client to be comfortable. I pride myself in being allied with LGBTQIA2 and identify as a Black woman.

Welcome! I'm Rebecca Perkins, a Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about helping others take the first steps toward making changes to feel more empowered and experience healing in their lives. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life as well as to take the first steps towards making a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. My approach is client centered utilizing Attachment Theory and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I strive to empower individuals to make progress to their individualized goals. I am a strong believer mental health symptoms are not defining of the individual and can be managed through evidenced and strength based therapy modalities. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but it is a safe place to heal and grow. In our sessions together, you'll be met with compassion, kindness, and evidence-based practices to overcome the challenges you want to change. I work with individuals who experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, and life transitions. I help individuals to navigate these situations as well as form new strategies to cope with symptoms and empower the individuals to have more control over their lives. When one feels in control of their life, they no longer feel controlled by symptoms. My communication style is warm, genuine, interactive, calm, and friendly. I often use humor in sessions to help individuals feel comfortable. I want individuals who work with me to feel as though we can discuss anything comfortably. I actively work in therapy sessions to meet your specific needs and help you arrive at insights. We will work together to implement strategies and tools you can begin using immediately. I became a therapist because I enjoy working with others. As a volunteer, hearing others’ journeys provided me the opportunity to further appreciate the resiliency and growth individuals can make in their own lives. As a therapist, working with individuals to support them in achieving their goals has very rewarding. I believe it is important for myself and the individual to work together to form goals the individual wants to achieve in therapy. As therapy progresses, we will work together to track the progress of the goal and re-evaluate as needed. Every individual has an unique story and deserves an individual approach to treatment. In our first session, I want to hear your story, hear how you are feeling, and hear about your thoughts. The individual can expect me to ask questions to gain a better understanding of them. Our first session is important because it is our first connection, the beginning of start our relationship, and the starting point for the goals the individual would like to develop.

I focus my work with individuals and couples to improve connection and secure functioning within relationships. I also work individuals dealing with affair recovery and betrayal trauma. Additionally, a large part of my practice focuses on healing from past traumas. During big life events we all need support, compassion, understanding, and sometimes guidance to return to feeling whole, connected, and allow joy back into our lives. Learning to care for yourself and using evidence based tools to improve your life will be our focus. My hope is to help you heal so you manage life's stressors and feel confident to face the world.

My approach to therapy is focused on creating a safe space someone can explore challenging thoughts and emotions, whether it is related to depression anxiety or struggles with addiction or compulsive behaviors. I truly believe if a person feels heard, learns effective coping skills and has the time and space to process the challenges in life, that growth and the ability to create the lives we want, is possible. I am passionate in supporting individuals to seek the potential and confidence to work toward their goals as well as learn the skill needed to cope with life's issues and challenges.

For 40 years I have been serving my community as a psychologist in private practice. My expertise is in helping individuals who are suffering with anxiety, depression and negative self image begin to see themselves differently and learn how they can take charge of their lives and experience the joy they were intended to feel. Working with a number of different modalities, my clients learn how to free themselves from negative and limiting self concepts. I take a very spiritual approach to my work. As a trinity, body, mind and spirit, shifting ones perspective and beginning to operate from a higher view often helps one overcome what seemed at one time to be impossible. We are joy seeking beings because joy is our natural state. When we once again come to know our true nature, we will naturally begin to feel more alive, joyful and ultimately more fulfilled.

I offer compassionate and evidence-based therapy to help you navigate life's difficulties. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma, I can provide the support and tools you need to heal and grow. I'm here to listen without judgment and offer guidance on your journey toward healing and well-being. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. I believe in your ability to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through therapy, we'll work collaboratively to identify your strengths, develop practical solutions, and empower you to live a fulfilling life. I am available to clients across the state, allowing you to visit with me in the comfort of your home through telehealth, whether it be during the week or in the evenings or on weekends.

Your life is stressful. With multiple deadlines, a to-do list that is ever-expanding, and a family and a social life that demands attention, you are stretched thin. You know that you can be successful, but you're beginning to think that you are dropping too many balls. The constant pressure to perform is turning into unrelenting anxiety and your performance is suffering. Therapy sounds like it might be a good idea, but no way can you dedicate seasons or years to making things better. Your work cannot wait, your spouse cannot wait, you cannot wait. Efficiency is critical. Confidentiality is critical. But you're ready to do what it takes. Let me help. I employ advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for effective, results-based solutions. I use a flexible, completely confidential model that can produce significant improvement in weeks or months rather than in years. Your experience is the foundation of our work together, and I'll teach you the specific methods you need to fit your own demands. Your life does not have to be overwhelming. Even when a part of you feels it's impossible, there is another part that knows that you can do it. You need that positive, accomplished side to shine and dominate your day. I can help you, show you, how to do that. It's time to conquer the anxiety, overwhelm, and relationship problems. Call me today. Let's talk!

I believe that the innate nature of human beings is to survive and be well, and that varying degrees of life experience and trauma create psychic structures that inhibit that natural process from occurring. My job is to help client's develop compassionate awareness for these structures that are no longer functional in their lives and help them to build tolerance for the underlying feelings being protected by these structures. And ultimately to help client's choose and develop healthier more functional thoughts, feelings and behaviors to expand their well being, life satisfaction and treat themselves with loving kindness.

Every conversation makes a difference. The differences may be subtle or they can be life-changing. I work in a direct and warm manner, creating an environment that is dynamic and safe. The therapeutic relationship is a very important one and can provide the basis for navigating through difficult life transitions, improving communication skills, healing from a loss, or exploring possibilities for enhancing one's life.

I help children, adults, and adolescents who struggle with behavioral, emotional, and relationship challenges by providing guidance and support through active listening and communication to overcome obstacles, utilizing calming techniques and guided imagery through Neurofeedback to alleviate symptoms related to health and behavior conditions. As well as improving focus, attention, and memory by training your brain to maximize achievement, performance, and productivity. My approach is to tailor to the needs of my clients, including applying a variety of techniques, from cognitive-behavioral therapy, art therapy, and play therapy. I use evidence-based treatment methods, and my goal is to aid you in helping yourself.
