Rebekah Ferguson is a licensed mental health counselor in Brooklyn, NY. She works with adults across the lifespan, in the treatment of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder/trauma related symptoms, religious identify conflicts, issues with self-esteem, recovery from high control groups and high control relationships, and complex personal struggles related to racial injustice.
Having worked with clients in various settings, across diverse identities, and throughout the lifespan, Rebekah is conscientious of the impact of clients' lived experiences on their worldview, particularly mindful of those who are pushed to the margins of society due to racism, and uses psychoeducation and support to mitigate the harmful impacts of racism, including colorism, texturism, and featurism. Rebekah's treatment approach is trauma-informed, supportive, multi-faceted, and genuine. Rebekah utilizes trauma informed frameworks such as Attachment Regulation and Competency theory to help clients understand and mitigate the impact of complex trauma. Rebekah pulls from evidence-based treatments of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness to assist clients in understanding factors and situations that contribute to suffering. Rebekah's goal with clients is to help develop awareness on the interplay between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and habits, take inventory on significant life events that impact core beliefs, and acquire skills to more effectively respond to life's hurdles.
Rebekah is committed to a collaborative, therapeutic process that affirms clients' unique needs, is strength based, and solution oriented. Rebekah's focus with a new client is to partner with them to understand their reason for seeking therapy, and to develop mutually agreed on intentions, establishing a structure for assessing progress.
