Dr. Rebecca Hern (she/her)

For the past decade I have specialized in supporting women in both the addiction recovery setting as well as in private practice. Together we will collaborate to address anxiety, relational, trauma, and other life transition concerns. I also support many women experiencing perimenopause and menopause, and the many ways this can disrupt and change mental health and relationships in this season of life. You are not alone and I am here to support you.

Through my work in addiction recovery, I discovered early on the critical need to understand the impact of past trauma, and incorporate this into the recovery process. I sought additional training in 2018 in EMDR, one of the most widely researched and supported trauma treatment modalities. I further sought specialized training in the treatment of complex trauma through the lens of Anchored Relational Therapy (formerly AIR Network) in 2023.

Anxiety is a universal experience, and one that we are wired to experience to a greater degree as an adaptation to difficult and traumatic experiences in life. While this helps is to survive and keep ourselves safe, it can also start to work against us when no longer needed. We will collaborate to find a more optimal balance of activation in the mind and body using mindful awareness, body based strategies, and collaboration and problem solving to achieve a more balanced state.

I learned early on in supporting individuals in addiction recovery that it is critical to understand the impact of earlier trauma. I went on to complete EMDR training in 2018, which is one of the most widely researched and supported trauma treatments. I further specialized in the treatment of complex trauma through training in Anchored Relational Therapy (formerly AIR Network), which allows me to better support working with all parts of self in the trauma healing process.

I specialize in supporting women through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, and relational concerns. I also work with many women experiencing the mental, emotional, and relational impact of changing hormones through perimenopause and menopause. While the medical field is continuing to develop in research and awareness around hormonal changes in midlife, it is important to have a support community as you advocate for the care you deserve.

EMDR is a powerful approach for processing trauma and other painful experiences keeping you "stuck" in painful experiences, both internally and within your relationships. EMDR can help you find relief from overwhelming emotions, connect to your inner wisdom, and move forward with confidence.
