Therapist in Arlington, Massachusetts Rebecca Zafran, Therapist

Rebecca provides a relational approach to therapy, with sessions often combining skill building with processing of life events. She provides a warm environment for clients to navigate recent challenges and celebrate successes in their lives. Her experience includes working with adolescents and young adults with complex trauma, as well as assisting adolescents and young adults in exploring and accepting their sexual and gender identity or understanding the impact of neurodivergence in their lives. Rebecca draws from techniques and skills in CBT, DBT, and ACT, however utilizes a psychodynamic driven approach, where clients bring to session what they would like to process, explore, and better understand. In addition to reducing client identified bothersome symptoms or behaviors, the aim of therapy with Rebecca is often to gain a better understanding of the self, the world around ourselves, and the forces at play that influence who we are and how we move through the world. Rebecca works to provide an intentionally trauma informed, anti-racist, and culturally competent therapy space. She seeks ongoing training to continue to improve on creating a neurodiversity affirming approach, as well as HAES (Health at Every Size) lens to treatment, when appropriate.
