Rebecca Morehiser

Rebecca (she/her) holds an MSW degree from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and has received specialized training in trauma-informed care, EMDR and expressive arts therapies. Her approach is based on a foundation of attachment and psychodynamic theory, exploring how past experiences, relationships and unconscious thoughts show up in the present. As a social worker, Rebecca recognizes the importance of identity, culture, and embodied experience within the mental health context, and brings this perspective to her practice. She has worked with a range of clients to address issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, chronic pain, ADHD, and grief.

Rebecca believes that if we are brave enough to open ourselves to change, our painful experiences can become gateways to personal transformation. She sees therapy as a collaborative effort, an exchange of perspectives and emotions through which new meaning is created together. She approaches each client with humility and deep respect for their unique lived experiences. Your cues will guide the direction and pace of the work done together.

Her previous experience in advertising and documentary film informs her understanding of narrative, human behavior, and the transformative potential of putting thoughts and feelings into words. The stories we tell both reflect and shape how we see ourselves and the world. This belief is at the heart of her clinical practice.

Rebecca identifies as a creative and highly sensitive person (HSP) and enjoys working with clients who share these traits.
