Dr. Rebecca Thompson

Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a California-licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience and specialized training in neuropsychology. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults, bringing a clinical perspective shaped by a deep interest in how the brain influences thinking, emotion, and behavior.

Her doctoral training and the life experiences that led her to return to graduate school have informed a practical, compassionate approach to helping people recover and move forward after upsetting events. Dr. Thompson listens with an open mind, offers guidance toward clear goals, and commits to meeting clients at least halfway. She does not do the work for clients but walks alongside them, encouraging consideration of alternative ideas, establishing a plan, and pursuing a higher quality of life.

Those who have worked with Dr. Thompson find her approachable and easy to talk to; she is careful when making suggestions, relies on her knowledge base as a guide, and remains sensitive to individual needs. Drawing on a wide range of life and clinical experiences, she aims to find common ground that supports each person’s journey of self-discovery.

Her clinical focus includes working with first responders, traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder, living with chronic pain, depression, social anxiety, relationship concerns, and performance anxiety.
