Rebecca Tsopelas

I specialize in trauma, depression, self-injurious/avoidance behaviors, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and relationship challenges at Lifeologie Counseling Newton. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach to care. I understand that many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by impossible expectations, disconnected from themselves or others, and exhausted from constantly trying to “hold it together.”

Through compassionate, client-centered treatment approaches including DBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), EMDR, and ARC, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, process trauma, improve communication and relationships, and develop a greater sense of balance, self-understanding, safety, and connection.

I have worked in mental health since 2007 across several continents and levels of care, supporting individuals and families through complex trauma, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, identity exploration, and relational challenges.

I earned my Master’s in Forensic and Counseling Psychology from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing begins with safety; within the body, within relationships, and within ourselves. I place an emphasis on slowing down, listening to what behaviors and reactions are trying to communicate, and learning to separate external “shoulds” from authentic needs and values. I believe vulnerability can feel terrifying, change is rarely linear, and small wins deserve celebration. My work is rooted in helping clients radically accept their genuine identity, strengthen communication, and building sustainable change through willpower, self-awareness, and connection.

Please expect someone to listen to your story fully and want to support you totally in whatever you wish to work through or towards.
