Rebekah Gumm, Ed.S.

Hello there! I'm Rebekah, a therapist in my mid-thirties who finds deep fulfillment in helping others navigate life's challenges. I cherish my roles as a wife and mom, which constantly teach me about love, patience, and the beauty of everyday moments. In my downtime, you'll often find me with a good cup of coffee, savoring the quiet moments while enjoying music that speaks to my soul or listening to a book. Life, to me, is a journey of growth and connection, where our experiences of delight and suffering add invaluable layers to the richness of experience. I look forward to authentically connecting with you and working with you toward your goals. At this time, I am working with couple's and individuals who are: -Brave enough to face themselves with curiosity, honesty, and love. -Ready to work, both in and outside of sessions. -Willing to risk growth as they experience safety. -Wanting to live with increased congruence, courage, and love in all settings. Though I have very limited availability for weekly sessions, I do also provide intensive options for couples and families. A description of the couple's intensive is below. Family intensives will be more individualized. --- Couples Therapy Intensives Why Couples Choose Intensives Many couples feel stuck repeating the same conversations and conflicts, even when they deeply care about one another. While weekly therapy can be helpful, progress can sometimes feel slow. A couples intensive provides dedicated, uninterrupted time to understand the patterns that keep you stuck and begin creating new experiences of connection. Couples often choose intensives when they: • Want meaningful progress in a shorter period of time • Feel stuck in the same conflict cycle • Need focused time to reconnect emotionally --- What Is a Couples Intensive? Couples intensives provide extended time to work through relationship patterns without the interruptions that often occur between weekly sessions. Using the principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, the intensive process helps couples understand the negative interaction cycle driving conflict and disconnection. Through guided experiential work, partners begin to recognize the deeper emotions and needs beneath their struggles and learn new ways of responding to each other. During an intensive couples often: • Identify the relationship pattern that keeps them stuck • Explore the emotions underneath conflict • Practice new ways of responding to one another --- How the Intensive Works The process begins with a consultation call to determine whether an intensive is the right fit. Each partner then completes questionnaires to help guide the work, and couples are encouraged to read *Hold Me Tight* by Sue Johnson prior to the intensive. The intensive itself focuses on understanding your relationship pattern and creating new experiences of emotional responsiveness and connection. Couples receive: • Structured preparation before the intensive • Focused therapeutic work during the intensive • A written summary and follow-up session afterward --- Intensive Options **One-Day Intensive** 4 hours of clinical work in one day • Two 2-hour sessions • Short breaks as needed • One-hour lunch break Investment: $1,250 **Extended Intensive** 9 hours of clinical work across two days • Evening session on Day 1 • Morning session on Day 2 • Afternoon session on Day 2 Investment: $2,750 --- Couples pursue intensives for many reasons, including: • Feeling stuck in repeating conflict patterns • Rebuilding connection after a period of distance • Strengthening their relationship during a stressful season of life --- Intensives tend to work best for couples who: • Are motivated to understand their relationship more deeply • Are willing to participate openly in the process • Want focused time to work on their relationship **Please note:** Couples therapy intensives are a specialized service and cannot be billed to insurance. As in any form of psychotherapy, an outcome cannot be guaranteed. --- Please use the "Contact" button at the top of the page to submit an inquiry.
