Rebecca Barnett Psy.D.CA
I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist working with teens, adults, and couples navigating the ways neurodivergence shows up in life and relationships.
My approach is warm, relational, attachment-based, educational, and focused on helping you understand yourself and reach your goals! 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
About me
I love being a therapist! I hold a Psy.D. in Counseling Psychology and currently practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate while working toward psychologist licensure.
My doctoral research, The Impact of Nature on Sensory Neurodivergence, explored the relationship between nature, sensory experiences, and well-being for autistic individuals, people with ADHD, and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). I'm particularly interested in how our environments influence the way we experience the world, regulate our nervous systems, and connect with ourselves and others.
Outside of the therapy room, you'll often find me somewhere in the mountains, wandering through the forest, listening to music, spending time with my family and animals, or getting lost in a good book!

Welcome to a nurturing space where you need not face life's challenges alone. In our journey, we'll navigate the complexities of your experiences, empowering you to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life. I'm passionate about providing trauma-informed care, fostering open discussions without guilt or shame. My goal is to provide genuine understanding and empathy as we explore your unique identity and experiences together.
You don’t have to have the right words or know where to begin. My style is warm, laid-back, and compassionate, with room for honest conversation, curiosity, and humor. I bring a trauma-informed, attachment-based perspective to our work, taking time to build trust and understand what matters to you.I prioritize creating a secure and supportive therapeutic alliance as the foundation for healing.
We can take time with what’s difficult to name, notice what happens in your body, and get curious about patterns that once helped you get through.

Somatic Ecotherapy means reconnecting with nature to help heal your mind and body. It's about using the outdoors, like forests or gardens, as a kind of therapy space. You might do activities like walking, hiking, gardening, or simply sitting outside while a therapist helps you explore your thoughts and feelings. It's all about finding balance and well-being through the natural world around us.

Therapy is like going to a doctor for your mind and emotions. It focuses on understanding and healing psychological issues, past traumas, and mental health conditions. As your therapist, I can diagnose and treat mental health conditions. In therapy, there is often a focus on exploring past experiences and how they may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present. Therapists help you understand the root causes of your current challenges, such as past traumas, childhood experiences, or patterns of thinking developed over time. By exploring the past, therapy can promote healing, increase self-awareness, and help you make sense of your life story.
As a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, I am only able to provide therapy services to clients located within the state of Washington.
Coaching, on the other hand, looks more to the future. It’s like having a personal trainer for your life goals. It focuses on helping you achieve personal or professional goals, develop skills, and make positive changes in your life. Coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, they help you identify your strengths and values, set meaningful goals, and create a plan to reach them. Coaching is often more action-oriented and future-focused, with an emphasis on accountability and personal growth.
I am available to coach clients located anywhere in the United States as well as internationally, providing services to individuals around the world.
*PLEASE NOTE that as a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, I am ethically and legally prohibited from providing both therapy and coaching services to the same individual. Clients must choose to either engage in therapy or coaching with me, and once a client has started either therapy or coaching, they cannot switch to the other service. It is important to maintain clear boundaries between therapy and coaching to ensure the highest level of care and ethical standards.
