Meet rebecca wilson, lcsw
You’re already stronger than you think you are.
therapist for women and young adults based in Southington and serving all of CT
Together, let’s tap into your natural healing abilities.
You’re on the right path to getting unstuck.
What if I told you that you’re more resilient than you realize?
Do you know what a geode is? It’s a rough-looking rock on the outside, but when you open it, you find beautiful crystals hidden within.
You may feel a little like that right now—life hasn’t felt the way you expected, and things have been rough. You might feel burnt out, “crispy around the edges,” or like you’ve lost touch with who you used to be. But beneath that exhaustion and self-doubt are beautiful truths, strengths, and the capacity to heal.
The resilience inside you has always been there, just waiting to be discovered. Our work helps reveal that part of yourself—so you can begin to heal your wounds and transform your life from the inside out.
What you can expect in our journey together:
-
I know how easy it is to get caught up in taking care of everyone else, pushing through the day, and ignoring your own needs until something finally gives. When we meet, you can set that heavy weight down for a while.
-
I’ll invite you to notice what your body and mind are communicating as we work through your thoughts, emotions and experiences. Because your body and brain hold so much of your story and your strength.
-
Growth can be uncomfortable, but you won’t have to take this journey alone. I’ll be there to support you through the bittersweet process, helping you tap into your innate healing abilities—so that you can experience a sense of calm, confidence, and clarity throughout.
My style
Why clients trust me—
I’m a fellow human on this life journey.
Clients describe me as kind, caring, and down-to-earth—a compassionate fellow human who listens deeply and helps to make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. I bring a warm, grounded presence to each session and a belief that real change happens when the brain and body work together.
My approach blends Brainspotting, IFS-Informed EMDR Therapy, and I-CBT, drawing on your brain’s natural capacity for healing and integration.
This isn’t just “talk therapy” — it’s an active, change-based process that helps you reconnect with your inner wisdom and restore balance from your inner strength.
Clients often leave therapy with me feeling more at peace—clearer in their boundaries, more connected to their values, and more confident in themselves and their relationships.
Want to know what therapy with me is really like?
Therapy with me is…
A soft place to land and reconnect with yourself when life feels burdened and heavy
Deep healing work to get to the root of things, gain insight, and experience growth
Compassionate, real, and sometimes even a little laugh-through-the-tears
Therapy with me is not…
A quick band-aid fix with one-size-fits all surface-level solutions from Pinterest
A place where you stay stuck in old patterns and hide parts of yourself to be accepted
Me nodding silently, telling you what to do, rushing you, or oversharing about myself
