Getting to know Rebecca Leitman

Hi there, I'm Rebecca! I am an Adoption, Trauma, and Anxiety specialist with over 15 years of experience. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience as an adoptee to my work, helping individuals navigate life transitions, grief, loss, and personal identity. My approach is warm, flexible, and grounded in genuine connection. My focus I work with individuals navigating adoption, trauma, and anxiety, as well as life transitions like grief and loss. I bring both clinical training and lived experience to adoption-related work, meeting each client with compassion and flexibility as they move toward the change they’re seeking. My approach My approach is relational and strengths-based, rooted in Internal Family Systems therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore the different parts of you and what they need. I meet clients with compassion and flexibility, tailoring treatment to fit your life, not a one-size-fits-all model, so healing feels sustainable. My communication style I bring a warm, direct, and collaborative style to sessions. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and create space for honesty. My tone is compassionate but grounded. I’ll gently challenge you when useful, and celebrate progress along the way. I check in often to keep our work together aligned with your needs. My journey to mental healthcare As an adoptee, I’ve lived the complexity of family systems and identity firsthand. As a brain cancer survivor, I understand resilience through hard treatment. Having lost a loved one to suicide, I know that grief deeply. These experiences, paired with 15+ years as a therapist, shape the compassion I bring to every session.
