Rebekka Lehmann

In our sessions, we create something together. While I might be the one who is knowledgeable in my specific field and can offer you useful tools and insights, you're the expert on your own personal experiences. I strongly believe in the connection between mind and body, and my holistic approach is influenced by my background in mindfulness and yoga. I work in a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and feminist way, which includes looking at the systems and resources you live and work in. This is important because helping professions (especially the ones that are not compensated fairly) are systemically still 'women’s work' and caregiving roles and tasks in our families are still distributed unequally. What I'm offering you in our sessions is something I’ve found to be helpful when I go to therapy myself: A non-judgmental, honest, and open-minded space where my presence leaves room for you to explore whatever you need to explore, gently nudging you to go deeper. Our therapy process aims to meet your individual needs, and may bridge the gap between your past experiences and the here and now. _________________________________________________________________ If this is something you may connect with, contact me here or via hello@rebekkalehmann.com for a free 30-min exploration call to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit.
