Rebekah Richin Therapy

Hi, I'm Rebekah.

If you're navigating a transition, stuck in relationship patterns that no longer serve you, or struggling with intimacy or desire, you're in the right place. I'm glad you're here.

Before I became a therapist, I studied film and storytelling, and I never stopped being fascinated by the stories we carry about ourselves. In our work together, we slow those stories down, question the ones that no longer feel true, and make room for something more honest. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic, depth-oriented work while staying strength-based, relational, and affirming.

Laughter, tears, and the conversations you've been avoiding are all welcome here.

Are you...

In a relationship where desire stopped matching, and the silence around it is getting louder?
Carrying shame about sex or your body that you never chose?
Successful on the outside, and strained, lonely, or disconnected underneath?
Navigating a breakup, a career shift, or an identity change that has you questioning everything?
Facing grief, retirement, or the enormous transitions of later life?
Wanting a therapist who is affirming of who you are, and how you love?
Ready to be challenged, not just heard?

Specialties

Two things I'm built for, and the people I do my best work with.

Sex & Intimacy

Direct, shame-free work on desire, disconnection, and the conversations most people avoid. Sex-positive and judgment-free.

Couples & Desire Discrepancy

For partners wanting different things, or wanting differently, and ready to talk about it without anyone going quiet.

Life Transitions

Identity shifts, career changes, relationship endings and beginnings, and the question of who you are on the other side.

Older Adults

Grief, retirement, loss of autonomy. Steady work that takes your whole history seriously.

High-Achievers & Creatives

For people who look successful from the outside and feel disconnected from their bodies and desires underneath.

Affirming Care

Queer-affirming, kink-aware, and ENM-informed. You will not spend your sessions explaining who you are.

Questions people ask

Do you take insurance?

No. I'm private pay, and I provide superbills. Check with your insurance company to see what percentage of out-of-network therapy, if any, they reimburse. A card on file is required.

How often will we meet, and for how long?

It's case by case, but my starting policy is consistency: once a week, 50 minutes, for the first eight to twelve weeks. From there we have collaborative conversations. Is this working? Do we want more frequency, or less? Are we feeling better? That decision is never made at you. It's made with you.

What if my partner isn't sold on couples therapy yet?

Full buy-in from both partners matters. It's the spirit of the work. If your partner is halfway there, bring them to a session and we'll have an honest conversation together about what it would take. If they're an absolute no, couples work isn't the right starting point. Individual therapy might be, and that's a strong place to begin.

Can we switch between couples and individual therapy?

Here's my policy, and it exists to protect the work: if we start individually, we stay individual, and I'll refer you to a great couples therapist if that need arises. If we start as a couple and later one of you wants individual work, I can continue with one partner. We don't switch back to couples after that. It keeps the therapy fair and unbiased for everyone in the room.

Why would I pay this much for therapy?

Honestly? Therapy is an expense, and for a lot of people it's a real stretch. If the fee doesn't work for you, I'd encourage you to look within your insurance network, and I'll say that without judgment. If you can make it work, here's how I see it: this is an investment in yourself, and it pays differently than anything else you'll buy. I also hold sliding-scale spots as they open.

Therapy for the stories you carry about who you are, how you love, and what you're allowed to want.
