Becca Adleberg, LPC

Growing up in the world of musical theater, I know what it is like to constantly feel like your best isn’t enough, and the anxiety of things always being out of your control. I find kindness and self compassion to be the most imperative parts of the therapy process. Too often in this life we are our own worst critics, when we could be our biggest cheerleader! My goal for sessions is to help guide you to the answers you already have within. I believe transparency between therapist & client is an imperative element in creating a strong therapeutic relationship. This means I will laugh with you, and also give you a little dose of reality if needed.

I specialize in working with individuals with ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD or folks in the LGTBQIA+ community. I practice using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) mixed with Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT). This means I use radical self acceptance and mindfulness alongside cognitive therapy. When working with individuals with OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), in order to help you slowly push back on your intrusive thoughts and gain confidence.

I am particularly passionate about working with teens. Between social media, the ever changing world, and a pandemic throwing a wrench in school, life as a teen is more complicated than ever. My goal is to create a safe space for teens to make sense of the overwhelm. My expertise lies in helping tweens and adolescents navigate LGBTQ and gender related issues, as well as educating parents on these topics. I aim to be a safe person to explore these things with.

All therapy I provide is LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming, and allied towards BLM, Poly/Kink/Non-Monogamous, Sex Worker and Alternative Lifestyle communities. Starting therapy can be overwhelming, but I am here to make the process easier. I look forward to working with you!
