Welcome.
I'm Rebecca.
Looking for a therapist, whether it’s just for you by yourself or for you and your partner, can feel overwhelming. It’s a brave and thoughtful decision to embark on therapy! My specialty is working with couples and adults in a non-pathologizing, supportive environment.
Do you feel stuck, anxious, or blue?
If you’re feeling stuck, blue ... or anxious most of the time, I can help. Sometimes our feelings can be overwhelming, and I provide a warm, supportive environment where we can understand your distress, make sense of why things aren’t working, and uncover better, more authentic ways to move forward. My clients describe me as genuine, warm and funny, and I use my expertise and experience to guide my clients towards living their best lives.
Rebecca Wrangham
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I like helping people in a variety of stages in life.
Couples
The couples I see are married or not, gay or straight, highly distressed or wanting a "tune-up". As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, my training and experience guides me as I help couples uncover negative relational patterns that can take over.
It's possible to feel connected and loving again!
Individuals
I also work with individuals looking to feel better, whether it's anxiety, depression or any kind of relationship issue that's causing distress. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral interventions and psychodynamic approach in my work, as well as a sense of humor.
FAQs
Therapy can seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some questions that people may have about my practice. I’m also happy to answer any other questions you may have. Simply fill out the form below or contact me directly.
There are many benefits to therapy. You will learn more about yourself and your emotional life, how and why you developed coping skills (or defenses), and how to make lasting, positive changes in your life. Talking to a therapist who is both compassionate and objective and takes you seriously can be an incredibly reparative experience.
I am definitely active in the session! I will ask a lot of questions, and I will sometimes ask you to clarify something you’ve just said or I will ask you to tell me more. If you ask me questions, I’ll answer them to the best of my ability, while keeping in mind this session is all about you - so I won’t share too much about myself. I’ll give feedback and we’ll probably laugh together once in a while, too.
I am on some insurance plans; check with me about that. If it turns out that I do take your insurance, you’ll call your insurance company and find out what (or if) there is a copay. I will file the insurance claims. If I don’t take your plan, you may still be able to receive a percentage of the cost of our sessions together, and I can provide a statement (a superbill) for you to share with them.
No, definitely not the whole time! I do take a family history in the beginning of our work together because it gives me a good idea of how you were raised, what were the messages you received, and what kind of challenges you may have had. I keep this information in the back of my mind during our work. As we work together, we can begin to see how certain ways of thinking and coping that you may have make a lot of sense. That’s just the beginning, as we will work to help you free to make intentional choices and move towards your goals.
Absolutely! Hardly any couple comes bounding happily into the first couples counseling session, with both partners equally on board with the idea of therapy. It’s natural to feel skeptical or even scared and filled with dread. When I see a couple for the first time, I expect this. And I recognize that if everything was going really well in the relationship, we wouldn’t be seeing each other. I listen carefully to both partners; I want to know what’s causing distress to each person. I don’t blame anyone and more than anything, I approach you both with openness and curiosity. And I help you share what’s happening for you in a way that makes sense to your partner, and vice versa.
