REBECCA BERGEN, PhD
Founder of HPc
I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering counseling to adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families. I have extensive experience treating clients with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Relationship issues
- Low self-esteem
- Eating disorders
- Parenting issues
- Behavioral problems and career concerns
Deepening the awareness of your emotions is central to understanding the growth and change you need to be truer to your authentic self. I provide a non-judgmental space to express all your thoughts and emotions, which in itself is a significant part of the growth and change process. I trust each client knows who they are and what is best for them in their life and under the right conditions, they will be liberated to be who they truly are. As your therapist, I will be a collaborative guide as you navigate your inner world, decide which changes you want to make in your perspectives on yourself, others, and life, and then what behaviors you want to implement which will lead to a more satisfying and joyous existence. We all know that life is finite, and this knowledge creates a pressure to live our best life. I believe counseling can be a catalyst toward you being your best self and living your best life.
My goal as a therapist is to make my clients feel comfortable enough to be truer to their authentic selves. I also encourage healthy behaviors that, we know through research, leads to greater psychological health.
- Practicing mindfulness
- Meditating
- Healthy sleep habits
- Healthy eating habits
- Regular exercise
- Engaging in enjoying activities
- Forming and maintaining healthy relationships by setting boundaries
- Creating rituals and habits around a variety of self-care behaviors
I also have special training in providing couples, marriage, and family therapy. I am dedicated to helping families of all forms discover better communication patterns, healthier boundaries, and establish deeper feelings of closeness and connection. I utilize Dr. Gottman’s Method of couples therapy, and I have extensive training in the Gottman Method (pursing certification). I also incorporate concepts from Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and specialize in family systems theory, with my goal being to help members of the family:
- Communicate in healthy ways, eliminating toxic conflict
- Understand each other better, building friendship and adoration
- Validate each others’ experiences
- Learn and implement ways to show love unique to each partner
- Identify needs and practice communicating those needs
- Work together to build a closer, more connected bond
