Getting to know Rebecca Ward
Raised in the Bay Area, I left at age 20 and set out to explore the world to test my beliefs and worldview. For 20 years, I lived and traveled overseas and throughout the United States, participating in healing ceremonies and experiencing how indigenous cultures find healing through ritual and community support. As I explored, I began to awaken to our global consciousness—a realization that everyone is connected and through the breath of life, we can be aware and attuned to everything and everyone.
Today, I am a trauma educator, licensed therapist, healer, author, speaker, and executive coach. My purpose is to help people transform their own trauma wounds into personal growth and resilience and reconnect back to the truest version of themselves—what I call our Original Blueprint®.
In addition to a bachelor’s degree in journalism, I hold two master’s degrees in business and clinical mental health from George Washington University and Marymount University, respectively. As a licensed therapist in California and an ICF-Certified Professional Coach, I hold a multitude of trauma-informed certifications, including Somatic Experiencing. I am also a freelance writer for Psychology Today. My memberships include the International Coaching Federation and the CA Marriage and Family Therapists Association.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT #90466), I specialize in somatics and neurophysiology as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP), which integrates talk therapy and interventions that address dysregulation in the nervous system. My superpower is helping clients overcome childhood trauma. I use both cognitive and somatic methods to do that and clients report that the results are "life-changing." I have seen the results for myself and it's extraordinary how much this work transforms people.
This modality helps my clients find deeper resolution from what brings them in for therapy and expands their capacity to thrive and embrace life’s challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families from all backgrounds, cultures, and ages who are seeking deep healing and compassionate support.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is collaborative with my clients. We typically spend the first couple of sessions reviewing the client's history. Based on the client's history, I'll recommend a treatment plan that the client will either approve or modify. From there, we begin the work together. Timelines for all my clients vary. Some are with me for a few months and others stay with me for years. It all depends on the complexity of their needs and how interested they are in their personal growth.
