Rebecca Ackerman, MA, LPC

At a young age, I decided that my purpose in life was to embrace my innate ability to create meaningful relationships and commit to creating a space in which others will feel truly heard and understood. My personal and professional experiences have allowed me to develop a level of empathy and understanding that fosters a strong therapeutic bond with my clients. I approach the therapeutic process by establishing an equal partnership between the client and myself, in order to promote healing and growth without judgement. My career in this field began with supporting adults with disabilities, working towards overcoming barriers and promoting independence. After completing my master’s degree, I worked as therapist at a residential treatment center for teenagers with significant trauma histories. This experience provided the exposure necessary to practice trauma informed care and to do so effectively. I work primarily with adults that have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. I am passionate about working with couples to rebuild the foundation of their relationship and reconnect, through evidence based practice. I believe that, with guidance, every client is capable of healing and living a life of meaning and connection.
