Rebekah Philippart

Rebekah Philippart

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.

Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.

In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi my name Larry. I believe every person has the ability to live the life they truly desire if they are willing to embrace values of self-compassion, honesty, self-determination and self-appreciation. I have eight years of experience in the mental health support field and work with teens, young adults, and adults. I show up as someone who steps into your world, not the other way around. In our sessions, you won't need a filter. There's no judgment, no apology required, just a real and welcoming space where all of you belongs. I use language that actually makes sense to you, so growth feels authentic and sustainable, not forced or fake. I believe every person has the ability to live the life they truly desire when they're willing to embrace self-compassion, honesty, and self-determination.The life you desire is only a choice away.
