Rebecca Fornaro (She/her)

I help my clients move from insight to action by empowering them to shift unhelpful relationship cycles. I believe in creating a safe and collaborative place for clients to feel seen and begin the healing journey. I approach every client with empathy and compassion in order to meet them where they are and empower them to make behavioral changes and heal from past trauma. I enjoy working with women who experience fears of abandonment, rejection, and place high standards upon themselves in order to seek validation. I work with clients to gain an awareness of their emotions, triggers, and needs. I often utilize mindfulness and breath-work in sessions to support clients in coping with overwhelming emotions. I believe in a strengths-based approach and often incorporates inner child and attachment-based work. Through inner child (parts) work, I help clients connect with those young parts of themselves who experienced emotional wounding – parts of ourselves that we often tend to reject.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over half a decade of experience in diverse clinical settings. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Marist College and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Monmouth University. As a trauma-informed clinician, I utilize EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness in sessions with clients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, hiking, and listening to true crime podcasts. I have a love for all things fantasy and enjoy painting, meditating and adding to my collection of crystals and tarot cards.
