Rebecca Hardt

My communication style

The environment in my sessions is focused, mindful, honest, and vulnerable. I may act as a coach, confidant, advocate, and mirror. I encourage my clients to identify and express feelings during the clinical hour and will often examine thought processes, make correlations to the past if needed, and create a plan on how to move toward a new way.

My journey to mental healthcare

When I was a child, a family member was murdered. In response, I searched for answers to what provokes people to act out in anger rather than resolve their conflicts in a non-violent way. I began my life's mission to become a therapist when I was a pre-teen by volunteering on a local crisis hotline for young people and becoming a peer mediator.

My goals for you

Goals organically come from a client's desire for change and might shift over time as the client grows.

Our first session

First sessions are a time to get to know each other and decide if the relationship feels like a right fit, as therapists are people in the room too.
