I am so glad you are here, taking the first step toward living a better life. My name is Rebecca, owner of Counseling by the Coast, LLC, and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in the mental health world.

The counseling relationship provides a unique opportunity to partner with a caring professional to examine life events together in a safe environment, generate personal insight/awareness and identify areas for empowered change. We all have the greatest potential for growth when we understand our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and the critical themes in our individual stories. This process allows us to navigate through adversity toward authentic meaning and purpose.

Today you are one step closer to a path towards growth and well-being. As a cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT), we will explore your thoughts and emotions to help you discover your true potential.

I look forward to providing you support and guidance to achieve your goals. I can be reached by telephone or email for individual, couples or family therapy.

Coming from a diverse and experienced background, my qualifications and training in various disciplines have helped me to expand on an innate ability to cater to a client’s individual needs and potential. I do not believe “one size fits all” which means that each client is given services unique to them and the intricacies of their life, their experiences. This approach is coupled with an individual professional style and conscientious quality of service. I run a “gold standard” practice with a personal belief of “people before profits”. Quite simply, I care about people and help people to care about themselves.
