About Rebecca Marshall LCPC, EMDR-CR
Becca is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is very important. It’s very important to me that I create strong relationships with my clients based on trust and acceptance. I take a holistic approach, as our mental health is as important as our physical health, and they are often related to one another. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and a person-centered approach. I can assist people who have mood disorders, anxiety, grief, trauma, substance abuse, parenting and family conflicts and LGBTQ support. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and couples.
Becca has worked in University, foster care and forensic settings. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her Master’s degree in Human Development Counseling, with a concentration in Marriage and Family therapy, both from the University of Illinois, Springfield. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, her cats and doing yoga.
Becca emphasizes health and wellness in the community and those she sees in her psychotherapy sessions. Mandatory DOT SAP program and required hours for completion. Failed drug screens at places of employment resulting in required substance abuse treatment and anger management classes.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.
EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.
