“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a foreign tongue . . . Live the questions now.” Rainer Maria Rilke
Rebeca Beeman (she/her) believes that we are all born complete and whole, deserving of lives that are happy and healthy. The experience of being human is full of potential and it is also complicated and sometimes painful. There can be challenges and pitfalls along the way – sometimes making it difficult to flourish or have the lives and relationships we would ideally like. Rebeca’s goal as a therapist is to support her clients through a compassionate exploration of their experiences, paying close attention to the places where they may feel stuck, as well as the places where they feel free. By engaging in this way, clients begin to understand themselves and their experiences more completely, moving towards the fully authentic and whole person that they truly are and want to be.
Rebeca holds a Master’s Degree in Marriage, Couples and Family Therapy from The Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling and interned at the M.E.T.A. Counseling Clinic. Rebeca’s clinical work integrates a variety of modalities which are generated by a collaborative relationship with the client. This client driven approach helps create optimal growth specific to the needs and interests of the person. The use of metaphor, imagery and other techniques in Rebeca’s practice allows for a creative counseling experience.
Rebeca’s multicultural and bilingual background supports a therapeutic environment that endeavors to be inclusive, hopeful, and strengths-based. Her specialty in Ecopsychology also offers dynamic nature-based therapeutic options. She works with individuals, couples, and families of all types. Rebeca was born in Mexico, is bilingual in Spanish and English and is culturally competent with people from a variety of backgrounds. Rebeca welcomes clients of all identities and backgrounds.
Before entering the counseling profession, Rebeca worked in International Public Health and International Education in various parts of Latin America and the United States. She was a digital storytelling teacher and photographer both in the US and Mexico, and worked as a community and union organizer with a focus on housing justice and healthcare worker advocacy.
Rebeca enjoys traveling and being outside in all weather. She can often be found on a mountain, in a river or the ocean – preferably with friends/family and her trusty canine companion.
Rebeca is a Licensed Marriage, Couples and Family Therapist and is mentored by Deah Baird, LPC, CHT.
