Rebecca Marrs

Rebecca Marrs is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with more than six years of experience in the mental health field. She has provided therapy to people across the lifespan - from infancy and childhood through adolescence, adulthood, middle adulthood, and older age.

Her work has taken place in a variety of settings, including in-home visits, schools, community locations, agency environments, and her private office. She has supported individuals with diverse backgrounds such as foster care and adoption histories, experiences of trauma and domestic violence, challenges with peers or co-workers, autoimmune illness, LGBTQIA+ identities, separation and divorce, reunification, and court-ordered therapy.

Some people she has worked with have received diagnoses such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, adjustment disorder, school phobia, and oppositional defiant disorder. Rebecca completes an intake that includes a mental status exam; this process unfolds naturally during sessions as she asks about the reasons for seeking therapy and collaborates with each person to identify therapeutic, personal, and professional goals.

Her office is intended to be a safe space where individuals can share thoughts and feelings and feel heard, understood, validated, and supported. Clients are invited to take part in decisions throughout the therapeutic process and have a voice at each step.
