Rebecca Gorman
Licensed Professional Counselor Associate -
I have worked with incredibly intelligent, motivated clients who came in struggling to find hope, unsure if they’d ever find a way out of their pain. They were phenomenal people; they just didn’t have the right tools. By the end of their work with me, they’d found new hope, joy, and solutions. Some had shifted patterns in their lives that had been causing pain for years.
My commitment is to be a lifelong learner who walks alongside you by continually investing in my own healing and growth. I do not ask you to go where I’m unwilling to go, and I don’t believe I can take someone where I’ve never been. My clients are some of the most courageous, inspiring, world-changing people I have ever met, and I seek to serve them with excellence. My #1 goal is to work myself out of a job. I love getting to see you experience the growth and transformation you came to therapy for.
My Guiding Principles:
Work Toward Connectedness:
I believe all problems, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical, come from a sense of separation—from God, others, and ourselves. When I use the word “God,” I’m referring to the God of the Bible, perfectly revealed in Jesus. Some of my clients may prefer “Higher Power,” “Creator,” “Source,” “Ultimate Truth,” “Inner Knowing,” or other terms.
Everyone Can Hear from God:
You were designed to hear from God—the Voice of Truth and Love. Intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression—these are often symptoms of deep inner loneliness, a sense that we are on our own and that it’s all up to us to “figure it out.” One goal of therapy is to bring us back to our true state of being. It’s easy for Truth and Love to drown out the noise when we’re living in our true identity.
You Are the Expert on You:
I believe every client is the leader in their own growth and healing, so I take a person-centered, customized, integrative approach. Everyone has their own journey and timeline. Tools exist to serve people, not the other way around. One thing you’ll hear me say a lot is “I could be wrong.”
Bottom line: I am an advocate and ally; you are the expert on you.
