Professional statement

Rebecca Rodas is a creative arts therapist experienced in working with a diverse range of clients. Her specialties include trauma, LGBTQ+ identity exploration, anxiety, depression, non-monogamous relationships, and creativity. She is passionate about using art therapy to help people heal from trauma, express themselves creatively, explore emotions, and cope with grief. Rebecca also has experience working with clients with a variety of other mental health concerns, such as eating disorders, body image issues, and substance abuse.

As an eclectic therapist, Rebecca uses a variety of techniques, including but not limited to art, mindfulness, somatic experience, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and multicultural therapy. This ensures that each session is tailored to the individual needs of each client which can shift and change. Rebecca believes that art therapy is a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Art can help people to access their emotions, process difficult experiences, and develop coping skills. It can also be a way to express oneself creatively and connect with others. No art experience or art-making is required.

Rebecca is a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental therapist. She believes that a safe and supportive environment is essential for healing. She is also a firm believer in the power of humor and play. Rebecca is committed to working with clients from all backgrounds and experiences, especially those from marginalized communities. She is particularly passionate about empowering Hispanic/Latine people and creating a safe space for them to be their authentic selves.

Rebecca is currently offering online therapy in NY state. She accepts Cigna insurance and offers out-of-network services with a sliding scale fee.


Message to clients

I hope to provide a space where you feel safe to be exactly who you are with no fear of judgment. My treatment approach is client-centered and collaborative so I want to know what works best for you. I hope you feel comfortable enough to share what has upset you if I ever do something you dislike and can explore how I can best support you. I believe that each individual is unique and has their own strengths and resources. I will work with you to identify goals and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. I also provide support and guidance as my clients work through their challenges. I will check-in with you about progress so far in therapy and adjust my approach as needed if that is needed. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and I can support you in reaching your goals with my knowledge and expertise in the treatment of mental health. I am excited to hear from you and see if this will be a good fit.
