Welcome to my counseling practice! I'm Rebecca Torres, a dedicated licensed mental health counselor deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life's various challenges. My mission is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where healing and personal growth can flourish.
Holistic and Integrative Care: Believing in the importance of treating the whole person, my practice integrates brain health, holistic-focused care, Christian Counseling, and mindfulness practices. This comprehensive approach ensures that both your mental and spiritual needs are met, promoting overall wellness.
Community and Faith: Having served as a Director of Youth Ministry for over twenty-five years in various locations including Colorado, San Diego, New York City, and Florida, my work with Young Life and various churches has deeply influenced my counseling practice. My faith is a cornerstone of my life, and I am comfortable integrating faith and prayer into sessions upon request, offering Christian faith-based counseling.
Serving a Broad Demographic: I work with a wide age range of clients, from children aged seven years and older to adults. My professional internships have included roles in both individual and group counseling settings, particularly focusing on inpatient substance addiction treatment facilities and adolescents suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma.
Location: I am based in Naples, Florida, and serve clients throughout the Southwest Florida area. Appointments are available for those seeking support and guidance in their mental health journey.
It's been a blessing to walk this path with so many individuals and families, guiding them toward peace, balance, and connection in their lives and relationships. If you feel ready to take the next step in your journey, I am here to support and empower you.
