As a licensed therapist in Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, and Virginia. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and workplace stress. I have extensive experience working with young adults, midlife individuals, and older adults facing transitions and personal growth opportunities. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I'm committed to providing personalized, evidence-based support tailored to individual needs and experiences. Drawing from a decade of clinical experience, I offer a warm, collaborative approach that empowers clients to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful life changes.

Rebecca LaDue

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.

I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

I'm a nurse practitioner with six years of experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient psychiatric settings. I specialize in addiction and substance use, depression, and general psychiatry — working exclusively with adults. After years of high-paced clinical work, I built a telehealth practice designed around real life: I see patients evenings and Saturday mornings, so quality psychiatric care doesn't have to compete with your workday. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach — focused on what actually helps you move forward.
