Rebekah Taylor L C S W
I'm a EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have been practicing in social work since undergrad back in 2007. I mostly work with adults in life transitions, difficult stressors (work, family or medical), chronic health conditions and pain. My career began in medical social work and I have continued to practice in medical social work and counseling/mental health for the duration of my career. I do believe that we do not get sick one way or get well one way. That means that I truly want to help you feel well and work with you in helping you get in to the doctors you need to ensure an overall wellness. I became a mental health provider because I am passionate about helping people regain their life back, having hope for better days and overcoming difficult situations and traumatic events. Life can have ups and downs and it's okay to ask for help and to say “this is hard”.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll slow down and focus on building comfort and trust. You’ll have space to share what’s bringing you in, ask questions, and talk about what you hope to get out of therapy. I’ll guide you with gentle structure, gathering some background at your pace—no pressure to tell everything at once. Together, we’ll begin identifying your goals and what support might feel most helpful. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and not alone as we begin this journey. You don’t need to prepare—just come as you are.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strengths lie in creating a warm, grounding space where clients feel deeply seen and supported. I bring a trauma-informed lens to everything I do, blending EMDR, Brainspotting (currently no providing Brainspotting at this time), CBT, somatic processing, and parts work to help clients process safely and at their own pace. I’m especially skilled at helping people uncover patterns shaped by trauma, build nervous system resilience, and reconnect with their inner wisdom. Clients often tell me they feel calmer, more empowered, and more like themselves after our work together. Healing doesn’t have to be rushed—it just has to feel safe.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by life’s demands. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, caregiver stress, or the impact of difficult relationships. Some are healing from religious trauma or years of putting others first. I work well with individuals who are ready to better understand their emotional patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and move forward with more clarity and self-compassion. Whether you're new to therapy or returning after a break, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to start.

EMDR
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma. (Taken from Emdria.org) I recently completed my certificate with EMDR and going on for my certification in this. Together with Brainspotting I have well over 100 hours in specialized training in these modalities. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist with EMDRIA. Also, I am trained in the Safe and Sound Protocol by Unyte (SSP) and utilize this often in Phase 2 of EMDR. SSL was designed by Dr Stephen Porges.

Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is a way of providing support that recognizes the deep and lasting impact trauma can have on a person’s life, health, and relationships. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?”—trauma-informed care gently asks, “What happened to you?” It honors your lived experience and understands that behaviors, symptoms, and even physical health issues often make sense when viewed through the lens of trauma. In trauma-informed therapy, you can expect: • Emotional and physical safety to be prioritized • Collaborative and respectful relationships between client and therapist • Empowerment and choice, honoring your voice and pace • Awareness of how trauma lives in the body, and tools to reconnect gently • Compassion for all parts of you, even the ones you’ve been taught to hide Whether you’ve experienced narcissistic abuse, religious trauma, or the long-term effects of early emotional neglect, trauma-informed care creates a space where healing can unfold—not through force, but through safety, attunement, and trust.
