My office is a judgement-free zone when helping my clients to achieve their goal of a higher quality of life. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who is skilled in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders. I have over a decade of experience helping adolescents and adults overcome barriers related to mood & anxiety disorders, trauma-related stressors, substance use disorders, grief & loss, and educational difficulties related to learning disabilities and mental health diagnoses. I am a client-centered therapist and am able to tailor treatment goals to each individual's needs using evidence-based approaches.

I often work with clients of all ages who desire to determine how to FEEL better through other options, such as using their breath during a breathwork session or utilizing the Safe and Sound Protocol. Both modalities support clients with anxiousness, depression and post traumatic stress disorder, to name a few. The modalities offered start with the feelings first through breath and music, then we discover the why afterwards. Often, you will not need to speak too much, but rather simply trust your body and what it wants to express, release and be recognized, while I guide your through the recognition process in a safe space.

Not a single one of our lives has escaped pain, hurt, rejection, loss, or other traumatic events. It’s a part of the world we live in; a part we cannot evade. Each generation, the trauma becomes more complex, as it builds on the previous generation’s unresolved trauma. It presents itself as depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleeplessness, trouble concentrating, self-destructive behaviors (including addiction), physical illness, overwhelming guilt or shame, and the inability to form healthy relationships. But it doesn’t have to continue. You can loosen the hold that it has on your life. You can end the cycle of generational trauma.

Accepting new clients! Are you feeling stuck or disconnected? Experiencing trauma or disturbing events can impact our nervous system through the development of depression, irritability, anxiety, shame, or unwanted behaviors. While these outcomes are adaptive, you may find them disruptive to your well-being and relationships. Together, we'll explore the impact of early relationships on your life, creating a safe space for unraveling and transforming past wounds. Your unique narrative is valued here, and together, we'll navigate the complexities of your experience with compassion and support.

Hello, some of my strengths include identifying and cultivating strengths in others, giving language to complex feelings, detangling complex issues and finding paths to wholeness. My goal in therapy is to support others to reach their personal goals and even help them identify what those may be if they are unsure. My ideal Patient is motivated to change and open to trying various techniques. I'm dual licensed in the States of Massachusetts and Illinois and provide only Teletherapy. I've been in clinical practice since 2013, yet have 20 years of experience through mentoring young adults.

Whether it is navigating general life stressors, attending to a complex psychological condition, bolstering your recovery efforts, or simply to talk things out, my goal is to blend empirically sound intervention with an authentic, caring, interpersonal style. My hope for you is the opportunity to heal beyond past psychological wounds coupled with movement towards a more mindful and peaceful place in your current life.

Life can present many challenges including school and work stress, relationship issues, parenting struggles, and health concerns.

As a therapist, I work from a relational model that considers both individual and systematic aspects of life to create a better understanding of what is brought into session. In collaboration, I'm a firm believer in showing up authentically as a queer/neurodiverse therapist and welcome clients to do the same as we work together. Therapy is work, but it's not something you have to do alone.

Welcome to Blue Skies Counseling! I am Rebecca Lynn. Seeking counseling can be a life changing decision. Many people have tried on their own to change behaviors but have been frustrated in the process. I will help guide you in a direction where you see results in your life and relationships. I enjoy the simple language of walking beside another human being on life's journey, that's counseling in my mind.

I bring a warm, open-minded, authentic presence to therapy. My practice is based on person-centered principles of unconditional acceptance and respect. Maybe you’re at a crossroads in your life, feeling stuck in patterns and moods that no longer serve you, or ready to process some trauma or grief. Whatever your goals are, I'm here to support you. As an EMDR trained therapist, I am especially mindful of the ways that difficult experiences can impact your relationships and how you feel about yourself.

I specialize in working within the trauma, adoption, foster care, Autism/ADHD/Neurodiverse communities. Knowing that lived experiences within these communities are affected by other systems and struggles, I also have a strong focus on attachment, identity processing, chronic pain, other disabilities, religious trauma and the LGBTQIA+ community.

My therapeutic style focuses on safety & empowerment. I may be the clinician, but I honor the fact that you are the expert of your own life. I build trust by wearing my heart on my sleeve. I would never ask you to risk your vulnerability if I am unwilling to risk my own. I may use humor to foster hope & ease discomfort. I welcome you to question my perspectives to improve the power of our co-created insights. We will collaborate to develop ways for you to make new choices, break old patterns, and build more effective supports. Our work will help you unlock your potential for healing, and get you closer to the person you want to be.

No matter where you've been or where you want to go, all of who you are is welcomed and celebrated here. I utilize a non-judgmental, trauma-informed approach where you can openly examine and tend to the parts of yourself that need a little extra care. I am a queer clinician and particularly enjoy working with those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community; I am a sex-positive practitioner and am kink and poly-affirming. I also have significant experience working with clients who are navigating life/spirituality after experiencing religious trauma.

I'm here to offer support using various evidence-based practices and frameworks, especially in addressing issues that affect Black, Indigenous, and other persons of color, as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. I work with individuals, families, couples, and groups aged 6-80. However, there may be times when I might not have the specific knowledge and resources needed to provide you with the best care. If you're currently dealing with issues related to Eating Disorders, Religion, Family/Domestic Violence, or Anger, I encourage you to explore other options for assistance.
