Rebecca Ahmadi

Counseling is my passion. I specialize in Play Therapy and work with both children and adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, self harm, and eating disorders. My main approach is Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT).
Katy Lewis
Psychotherapist APC. Supervised by Rebecca Ahmadi
I work with clients of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, career uncertainty, life transitions, and grief. I also have a special interest in working with clients who struggle with low self-esteem and negative body image. I help my clients process relationships, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors using interpersonal therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe in implementing a multicultural approach to my work, and I particularly enjoy working with clients with diverse identities and experiences.
