Rebecca Marcus's style

Why Rebecca Marcus chose to be in the helping profession

I understand firsthand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to learn to trust ourselves while trying to navigate the messiness of life and relationships. There are moments when everything feels uncertain, and it can be hard to know which voice inside to listen to or which direction to take. I have sat in that place myself and know how isolating and frustrating it can feel to carry those questions alone. That lived experience deeply shapes how I show up in my work and how I connect with the people I support.

I witnessed the magic of the healing journey in my own therapy, and it changed the way I saw myself and my life. Through that process, I gained clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of trust in myself that I had not known before. That experience sparked a strong desire to help others experience the same kind of healing and self-understanding. My goal is to support people as they create a life they truly love, one built on self-trust, resilience, and meaningful relationships.

Rebecca Marcus's approach

I take a holistic, relational, and integrative approach to my work, with the belief that healing happens within a safe and meaningful connection. I strive to create a warm and empathic environment where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. Each therapeutic relationship is thoughtfully tailored to a client’s unique goals, needs, and lived experiences. I see therapy as a collaborative process, one that honors both where you are and where you hope to be.

In my work, I integrate trauma informed, mindfulness based skills to support greater self awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. I also place strong importance on attachment theory and the impact of one’s upbringing, understanding how early relationships shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. By holding these pieces together, I aim to help clients develop deeper insight, self compassion, and healthier patterns in their lives. My hope is to offer a space where meaningful growth feels both possible and sustainable.

What you can expect from sessions with Rebecca Marcus

In our work together, you can expect a mix of talking, collaboration, processing, and skill building. Sessions are not one sided or rigid, but instead offer space for reflection, curiosity, and active engagement. I value working alongside my clients and believe that progress happens best when we approach the process together. This balance allows room for insight while also focusing on practical tools that can be used outside of sessions.

I am deeply passionate about empowering clients to reclaim their voice and reconnect with a sense of calm and confidence within themselves. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change that feels authentic and lasting, not forced or surface level. I aim to support clients in building trust in their own experiences and choices. Over time, this work can open the door to deeper self understanding, healthier relationships, and a more grounded way of moving through life.

Rebecca Marcus's experience working with the Jewish community

I have been working with the Jewish community for over a decade and feel deeply grateful for the opportunity to support growth and healing within this space. This work is meaningful to me, and I approach it with respect, cultural sensitivity, and an understanding of the values and nuances that shape Jewish life. Building trust and creating a sense of safety is central to how I show up for the people I work with.

I work with Jews from a wide range of backgrounds and levels of observance, and I welcome each client as they are. I recognize that Jewish identity is not one size fits all and that each person’s experience is shaped by their family, community, and personal journey. My goal is to offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and respected. From there, we can explore challenges, growth, and healing in a way that feels aligned and authentic.
