About Rebekah Tinker, LCSW
Rebekah believes the therapeutic relationship is built from trust and sincerity. Her hope is to hold space for a genuine connection that fosters dynamic self reflection. Looking deeper into the layers of experience that inform our internal gaze and external lens, and what we intrinsically value and believe. Whether you are looking to unravel patterns of codependency, improve communication with your partner(s), or navigate through body shame and disordered eating, I see opportunity for clarity and resolve.
Her clinical approach holds an intersectional feminist and psychodynamic lens. Each session is focused on deconstructing conscious and unconscious beliefs and behaviors. Weeding out what holds us captive in doubt, while empowering individuality and acceptance of self.
She specializes in relationships, sex and sexuality, body image, disordered eating, and identity development. I work with couples, adults, and adolescents of all genders and sexualities.
