Diagnostic evaluations, counseling, and clinical supervision rooted in 20 years of experience. Board-approved services for children and adults in North Carolina.

Hi! I’m Rebecca, a Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA) and School Psychologist with 20 years experience in the field. My career started with a specialty in School Psychology, which combines child behavior, development, and the assessment and differentiation of clinical childhood diagnoses. I practiced exclusively as a School Psychologist for nearly a decade until I branched out into private practice. I began seeing clients from the age of 3 to adults for clinical evaluations in multiple settings, which led to enhanced diagnostic clarity. I have pursued extra training and have extensive experience in the identification of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, including the often less understood female presentations. Additional areas of psychological assessment specialization include: learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and the differentiation and consideration of multiple diagnoses.  

 

Over the years I have honed my craft to be able to handle an immense amount of information regarding a client and to synthesize this into a clinical picture that best represents the whole person. I have a sharp eye for differentiating between diagnostic categories thanks to my extensive training, experience in the field, and my ability to consider the whole person (mind, body, spirit) as well as their history and any systems based concerns. Clients often tell me that my demeanor has helped them open up and share details that they have not shared with any other providers before. I present as a curious, open-minded, and nonjudgemental practitioner. Initial assessment sessions take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half, with additional time scheduled if needed. My goal is first to make sure my clients feel heard and respected, and second to gain the most diagnostic clarity possible to drive future recommendations. 

 

My counseling style is, at its core, humanistic and person centered. In addition to that foundation I am eclectic and integrate a range of different therapeutic styles, depending on the needs and desires of my client. I have an empathetic and down to earth nature in counseling. I can also be very direct and action oriented, depending on where my client is in the process. If desired by the client, a spiritual lens is included to gain further insight and clarity. I am well suited for clients that are looking for any combination of the following: exploring the deeper meaning to certain behavioral patterns; want help navigating the world with neurodivergence; desire mindfulness, art, nature, and music based therapeutic techniques; want assistance navigating life choices; are interested in personal empowerment; and/or desire guidance navigating life transitions. I am currently accepting therapy clients from age 12 and up.
