About

What services does your practice offer?

HeartWise Psychotherapy offers telehealth throughout California (Rebecca Love is also licensed in Colorado, South Dakota, and Rhode Island) and in-person therapy in Fair Oaks, California. Our group practice offers individual, couples, co-parenting, and group therapy for teens and adults.

What are your practice's specialties?

The therapists at HeartWise Psychotherapy offer multiple evidence-based therapy modalities. They specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, activating both sides of the brain to process through difficult feelings or memories. Clients work through their feelings of fear, anger, sadness, and disappointment with the support of a compassionate, experienced therapist. Clients also learn how to set boundaries with others so that they can focus on and articulate their own needs confidently and conflict-free, which may be new for them. The therapists at HeartWise Psychotherapy help clients set goals for themselves, and offer strategies and perspective along the journey. Clients learn to live through their values and to practice self-compassion to become their most authentic selves.

Why should I choose your practice?

Therapy with our clinicians might be a little different than what you may have experienced before. We offer a no-nonsense, personalized approach designed to teach you the coping skills that will work in your life, and show you how to operationalize those skills to bring immediate relief. You can expect our therapists to utilize clinical and real-world experience to meet you where you are at and help you get where you want to be. HeartWise prides itself in creating a non-judgmental, actively anti-discriminatory environment for our clients to safely explore the changes they are experiencing and discover their self-love through authenticity and compassion.

How does payment work at your practice?

HeartWise is not in-network with any insurance companies. We are a cash pay practice, and cost varies between clinicians and services (please see above), anywhere from $100-$275. We do offer a limited number of sliding scale appointments, so please contact us to find out more information or request subsidized therapy.
