Grief Therapists in Crescent City, CA

Hi there, I'm Rebecca Rice, LMFT. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, complex and developmental trauma, acute and chronic PTSD, ADHD, low self-esteem, emotional and sexual abuse, relationship problems, grief and loss . My therapeutic approach is drawn from many theories: EMDR, CBT, Attachment Theory, Solution-Focused, trauma-informed care and a holistic mind body approach. I'm guided by individual needs and reinforce strengths and abilities to facilitate change in the briefest time possible. You get to decide who you invite on your journey; I feel blessed to be a part of yours.

I believe that the therapy process is a practice of paying attention to what is actually happening - it sounds simple, but this is actually a deeply profound and challenging stance to maintain towards life. The work we do in therapy involves bringing elements of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, how we relate to ourselves and to others, and how we move through the world, from the darkness of the unconscious into the light of consciousness where we can take a look at them. We do not have to struggle and toil in order to implement change in our lives.

I can offer support to help you understand the challenges you are facing, and overcome barriers that get in the way of living an authentic and fulfilling life. I work with women struggling with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, stress, and grief and loss . I also have specialized training in working with pregnant/postpartum women and mothers of young children. With the support, guidance, and safety that the therapeutic alliance can provide, I believe in your body and brain's natural ability to heal itself and reset to a state of calm and openheartedness.
