Hi, my name is Bekah, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am passionate about working with clients who have experienced traumatic situations or abuse, struggle with depression and/or anxiety, and those who desire growth in emotion regulation and personal identity. I also enjoy working with veterans and law enforcement officers (past or current). My desire is to provide a safe space for clients to process, heal, and grow without experiencing guilt or shame.
My desire is to be a warm and nonjudgemental presence to whom clients feel safe to share their stories and experiences. I consider it an honor to be invited into the lives of my clients. I seek to help my clients identify and address the root causes of their symptoms, rather than focusing only on the presenting symptoms. I utilize an eclectic and holistic approach to counseling, taking the whole person of the client into consideration as we work together to mend, grow, and pursue wholeness.
I seek to provide sessions that are practical and applicable to daily life, as well as are a safe place to practice new skills. I desire participation from my clients, as motivation and willingness to practice throughout the week what was discussed in the therapy session will highly influence the outcome. I often invite my clients to practice somatic-oriented exercises and mindfulness techniques in-session, as supplements to talk therapy as it's important to engage the body as much as the mind. I am also EMDR-certified, which can be used to address trauma-related concerns.
