  • About Me
    • Hello and welcome! I am Rebecca Rowe, licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in La Porte, IN. I was born and raised in Chicago, but have enjoyed living and working in Northwest Indiana for over 4 years now. I don’t know how you found my page today, but I am very glad you did! I have great respect for those who not only recognize they need help working through their obstacles and struggles, but also move forward to seek help through therapy. At R & R Mental Health Counseling, I can help you on that journey through unconditional acceptance, empathy, and honest feedback. “Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations.” I currently work with teens, adults, couples, and families as well as creating support groups related to the needs of those I am working with. We will work together to process and resolve your current stressors and obstacles and move forward in balance and harmony. I have experience working with many modes of therapy, including giving interactive feedback, practicing grounding techniques, and using mindfulness activities in session. I also utilize aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions, as well as coping skills and resources to meet your unique needs. I specialize in the following issues: Stress & Anxiety, Depression, Teen Therapy, Establishing Boundaries, Dealing with Toxic People, Mindfulness, EMDR and Improving Sleep. (Click on any of these options for more information.) I personally enjoy working with people across diverse backgrounds and cultures. I also enjoy working with adolescents as well as women struggling with issues related to: self-esteem, boundaries, empowerment and taking better care of their own needs. I understand your feelings of anxiety and depression. We can work together to practice finding coping skills that work for you specifically, taking what works and leaving the rest. By using these skills daily, you can manage your fears and worries. At R & R Mental Health Counseling, you will always be supported and understood. My therapeutic style is direct, compassionate, strength-based and person-centered. I am also very warm and inviting. I practice using creativity and resourcefulness to help you feel more engaged, while offering a space to feel more open, respected and safe. I also consider myself a Hufflepuff through and through, if that means anything to you. The values of honesty, humor and courage are very important to me and my therapeutic relationship with my clients. I know the courage it takes to face your fears and struggles head on. I’m continually amazed at how well being silly and having fun go hand-in-hand with building a relationship and developing trust. We can work through the tough stuff, together. During sessions, I will listen actively and non-judgmentally to you and reflect back the things I hear. I am open to your experiences and unique perspectives. My goal is to give you a space to feel empowered and safe enough to express yourself as well as helping you identify and utilize coping skills and practical tools that will be lifelong assets for you. We will focus on the details of daily living as well as your big picture and themes or patterns that may connect them. Inquire about our FREE 30 min. phone consultation today. You can also book your session online! Qualifications School: University of Michigan Year Graduated: 2014 License No. and State: 34007714A Indiana

4 Reasons to Start Therapy in 2021

If you’re like most people, you brought in the new year with a list of resolutions. And if you’re like most people, all of those resolutions have one goal: to better your life in some way. Whether that is through eating right, working out, learning a new language or decluttering your home office, resolutions are made to help us live our best lives.

In all of these instances (health, weight loss, decluttering) therapy can help.

You see, most people believe mental health therapy is something you seek when there is a major crisis; when we need help navigating depression or anxiety; when we’re going through a big transition, or when our marriage is on the verge of collapse.

And while therapy can absolutely help with all of these scenarios, it offers numerous benefits you may not have thought of:

Therapy Can Boost Physical Health

Different therapy protocols have been shown to improve different physical symptoms associated with stress. This includes a reduction in migraines, digestive upset, better appetite and improved sleep.

Builds Self-Awareness

Many of us think we are running our lives when really, our lives are being run by subconscious programming from early childhood. Therapy helps clients understand where feelings, beliefs and behaviors really come from. Through treatment, individuals can become more self-aware and empowered to take responsibility for the lives they are creating. In this way, THEY create their lives instead of their lives being something that is happening TO them.

Explore Hidden Desires

Of course, self-awareness also means becoming aware of your passions and desires. Many people spend a majority of their life doing what others want instead of what THEY want. And many people simply don’t KNOW what they want in life.
Therapy can help you become an archeologist of sorts, digging into your heart, mind and soul to uncover what it is you value, love, desire, need and want.

Therapy Helps You Reach Goals

It’s the new year and we all have new goals that we are hoping to reach. Well, therapy can help you reach those goals!
A trained therapist can help you set achievable goals as well as help you outline the micro steps you’ll need to take to get there. They can also then act as coach and cheerleader, supporting your efforts to reach your goals.
Yes, therapy is something that you can turn to for depression, addiction, and help with your crumbling relationships. But therapy can help with so much more. If you’d like to explore treatment options in the new year, please get in touch with me.
