Rebecca Hug, LPCC
CEO & Counselor
As counselors, we tend to specialize in areas we have experienced personally. I specialize in trauma healing and resilience development. I understand the path to healing is ongoing and painful, but, I believe trauma does not have to be a life sentence. I am a trauma-informed clinician, trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and passionate about breaking cycles of generational and systemic trauma.
I am also passionate about working with clients who have experienced cultural harm due to their identity (e.g., race, religion, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity). I have counseled in diverse settings including adolescent residential, school and college, in-patient, and out-patient settings. I am dedicated to creating a brave space for clients to explore the impacts of their past and present so they can develop new skills for their preferred future. In sessions, I feel it is important to be compassionately direct through reframing negative beliefs and asking permission before offering an observation or question.
Before becoming a counselor I served as a community organizer, justice coordinator, and youth formation specialist for nearly a decade. I take a family system and community-based approach with each client and business with whom I work. My skill set includes implementing and assessing programs, writing and reviewing curriculums, training trainers, leading workshops and seminars, and developing pathways for systemic and sustainable change in organizations. I am a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), a cultural competence assessment.
