Hello, I'm Rebekah.
Rebekah McKinney
Licensed Professional Counselor
Registered Play Therapist
EMDR Certified
I consider it a great privilege and honor to journey with others through life’s challenges, adventures, setbacks, and celebrations. Life can be full of trials and unexpected circumstances, but when we have the support of another person, the impossible becomes possible again. I believe in the power of hope and healing, and I desire to come alongside you to help you find both.
​
My approach to counseling is integrative and I use a variety of techniques. I believe that every person is unique and should be met from a unique perspective based on their needs and goals for counseling. I enjoy thinking outside the box and love to include creativity in sessions. Because I specialize in trauma and attachment, I often approach counseling through the lens of your story. I truly believe when we have a compassionate witness to our stories, healing begins.
My biggest goal is to create a safe, secure atmosphere where we can establish a relationship built on trust and respect. I want you to feel comfortable to be exactly who you are. Ultimately, I want to help you dig deep, so you can understand the roots of your current challenges - not just make quick fixes on a surface level. Whether you’re seeking counseling for yourself or your child, I want to make the experience as supportive and hopeful as possible.
One of my great loves is incorporating Christian and biblical principles to my clinical practice when appropriate. I do not impose my own values or beliefs onto my clients, but if integrating spiritual beliefs is something you desire, I would love to come alongside you in this way.
Having been through my own personal counseling journey, I know how scary and hard the first step towards counseling can be. It would be a true honor and delight to journey with you as you take the next step towards hope and healing.
Sometimes finding the right counselor is simply a matter of finding someone who has training and experience in the particular area you are looking for but sometimes finding the right fit in a counselor can be more challenging.
