I tend to work through a Person Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy lens but try to pull from a variety of modalities to meet my clients where they’re at.

Rebecca Muir Intern
I am currently attending Tulane University in Louisiana online for my MSW program. Tulane’s School of Social Work training has given me a broad understanding of several therapy approaches that I use with clients. I love incorporating mindfulness-based strategies during therapy and encourage clients to use them outside of sessions to help create a more peaceful, joy-filled life.
