Therapy for Therapists

You have permission to just be a person here.

You spend so much of your life caring for other people. You hold their stories, make room for their pain, and invite them into the difficult work of healing.

And sometimes, you need a place where you don't have to be the one holding everything together.

Schedule your consultation

You know the work. You still have your own.

You've spent years studying attachment, trauma, and the nervous system. You've learned to recognize protective patterns, navigate rupture and repair, and help clients move through experiences that once felt overwhelming.

And yet, understanding the work clinically doesn't mean those same patterns don't show up in your own life.

Maybe you notice yourself:

  • Walking a client through rupture and repair on Tuesday morning, then finding it much harder to practice with your own spouse that evening.

  • Recognizing your attachment patterns in real time, but still feeling the familiar pull to pursue, withdraw, shut down, or overfunction.

  • Knowing your perfectionism or people-pleasing developed as a way to protect yourself, yet struggling to feel safe when you're not performing or keeping everyone happy.

  • Promising yourself you wouldn't repeat certain patterns with your children, then feeling the weight of recognizing those same patterns in your own reactions.

  • Offering clients compassion for their protective responses while holding yourself to a standard of healing you'd never expect from them.

  • Wondering whether you're really qualified to guide someone through something you're still working through yourself.

  • Understanding exactly what's happening clinically, but finding that insight doesn't always translate into having more choice in how you respond.

How I approach the work

When you already understand so much about what's happening, more insight isn't necessarily what you need.

I'm interested in what happens when that understanding isn't enough to change how you feel or respond.

I don't see your body's responses as something to override or correct. I see them as information that gives us somewhere to get curious.

Together, we can work with the memories, beliefs, emotions, and body responses connected to what's happening now, making room for something different to become possible.

We start with what you want to be different.

You don't need to come in with a specific memory to target or know which modality you need. Bring me the thing that keeps happening and what you wish could be different.

From there, I'm listening for the patterns, experiences, beliefs, body responses, and survival strategies connected to what's happening now.

Then I recommend how we work with it. That might include EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic work, movement, resourcing, or other approaches based on what you bring and how you respond as we work.

And we don't keep using something simply because that was the original plan. I'm paying attention to what's moving, what isn't, when we need to slow down, and when another approach may give us a better way in.

I see people as whole beings, with a mind, body, and spirit. Faith and spirituality are welcome in our work together, and we can integrate as much or as little of that as you want. You get to bring your whole self here.

And because you're a therapist, I know you may bring a lot of clinical knowledge into the room. That's welcome, too. You don't have to set aside what you know or pretend you don't have questions about the process.

I can keep up with you. And you don't have to be responsible for directing the work.

If I notice you moving back into your clinical mind, analyzing what's happening, or trying to manage the session, I may gently name it. Not because you're doing something wrong, but because I'm interested in what made that feel necessary in the moment.

We can get curious about what that part of you is protecting, and what might help you feel safe enough to let someone else hold the clinical responsibility for a while.

Hi, I’m Rebeca.

I know finding your own therapist can be a little different when you're a therapist yourself.

You may have particular expectations about training, experience, modalities, or clinical judgment. You might find yourself evaluating the therapist rather than settling into the experience. And finding someone you feel comfortable being vulnerable with can take time.

You don't have to love every part of this work to be good at it. And you don't have to arrive here feeling grateful, inspired, or certain you want to keep doing it.

There's room for wherever you are right now.

How we can work together

I don't work in the traditional 50-minute therapy model. Instead, I offer longer sessions that give us more room to settle into your own work, follow what's coming up, and stay with it without having to shift gears just as we're getting somewhere.

There are two ways we can work together:

Therapy intensives

A concentrated block of time focused on a particular experience, pattern, or area you want to work on.

We set aside dedicated time for the work, with preparation beforehand and integration afterward. This can be a good fit when you want to step away from your usual responsibilities and give something your focused attention.

Learn about therapy intensives

Extended sessions

Ongoing therapy in sessions of 90 minutes or longer, typically meeting less often.

There's room to settle in, follow what's meaningful, and give yourself time to come back to the present before returning to your day. The space between sessions also gives you opportunities to notice what shifts in your everyday life.

You don't have to figure out whether we're a good fit before reaching out. That's what the consultation is for.

Worst case scenario? You spend a little time talking with another clinician.

We'll talk about what you're looking for, what I recommend, and whether working together makes sense.

FAQs: Therapy for Therapists

  • Yes! And it's one of my favorite parts of my practice.

    I've spent over 20 years working as a clinician, have served as an approved supervisor, and am an EMDR consultant. I understand the unique experience of being a therapist while navigating your own emotional life. And I genuinely enjoy working with other clinicians.

    Therapists often come into their own therapy with a great deal of insight. You may already recognize your attachment patterns, understand your nervous system responses, and have a pretty good idea of where certain reactions originated. But understanding something clinically isn't the same as experiencing it differently.

    One of the things I love most is helping therapists bridge that gap between what they know and how they live. You don't have to set aside your clinical knowledge when we work together, but you also don't have to be responsible for directing the work.

    And I love thinking about the ripple effect. When a therapist experiences healing in their own life, that can influence how they show up for the people they work with, too.

  • Absolutely. Your work is part of your life, and the emotional impact of being a therapist deserves attention, too.

    We can explore burnout, compassion fatigue, difficult professional relationships, or the ways certain clinical experiences bring up your own history. Sometimes the work brings something personal to the surface. Other times, the cumulative responsibility of caring for others simply takes a toll.

    The distinction is that our focus stays on you, rather than evaluating your clinical decisions or developing treatment plans for your clients. That's the difference between personal therapy and professional consultation.

    You're welcome to bring your experiences as a therapist into the room. You don't have to spend the session being one.

  • That depends on what you're hoping to address, how much time you want to dedicate to the work, and what makes sense for your current circumstances.

    Therapy intensives offer one to three days of focused work. They can be a good fit when you want dedicated time to process specific experiences or work with patterns that continue to affect your life despite considerable insight.

    Extended sessions, typically 90 minutes or longer, offer more room for therapeutic work within an ongoing relationship. They can be a good fit when you want continuity without necessarily meeting every week.

    You don't have to figure out which format is right for you before reaching out. That's something we'll explore together during your consultation.

  • My work is grounded in somatic, attachment-focused EMDR, with Brainspotting and other experiential approaches incorporated when they make sense for what we're working on.

    I'm interested in more than understanding what happened or identifying the beliefs that developed in response. I pay attention to how those experiences continue to show up in your body, emotions, relationships, and everyday life.

    I bring a whole-person perspective to therapy, recognizing that your history, relationships, physical experiences, values, and sense of meaning are interconnected.

    You may already be familiar with many of these approaches. You're welcome to bring that knowledge and ask questions about the process. And you can also let me hold the clinical responsibility while you focus on your own experience.

  • Absolutely! I offer online therapy for clients located in Florida, Georgia, and Colorado, where I'm licensed to practice.

    Online sessions can be particularly convenient for therapists balancing clinical schedules, professional responsibilities, and their own need for support.

    I also offer in-person therapy intensives in Orlando, Florida, for those who prefer a dedicated block of time for their work.

    We can discuss which format makes the most sense for you.

  • You don't necessarily have to end an existing therapeutic relationship to explore focused work with me.

    Some therapists want dedicated time to process trauma or work with patterns that haven't shifted through their current therapy. Others value the relationship they already have with their therapist but are curious whether a therapy intensive could complement that work.

    We can talk about whether focused trauma work alongside your existing therapy makes sense, and whether coordinating with your current therapist would be helpful.

    The goal isn't to replace a therapeutic relationship that's serving you. It's to figure out whether additional, focused work would be helpful and appropriate.
