What Rebecca’s About
Rebecca is the primary provider at Access Support Counselling. She wants to help you build stronger and healthier relationships. She’s eager to teach you how.
Her superpower is connecting people through words. She reads a lot and always has fabulous book recommendations. She is a new mom to an adorable puppy and is trying to talk Here Completely into doing pet therapy. We fear she may be successful. We have all been discussing how wonderful it is to be doing more on-line therapy and meeting our client’s pets and are now stuck wondering if there isn’t more to this pet thing than we first thought.
She is a passionate queer ally, which we especially appreciate. She also has extensive knowledge about musicals.
