Rebekah Machiela

I’m thrilled you are taking this first step in caring for yourself by considering a therapeutic relationship with me. I am a licensed therapist in Maryland with 12 years experience providing counseling in medical hospitals. I am uniquely positioned to help you process grief, trauma, living with chronic illness or a disability, caregiver burnout, postpartum adjustment, end of life issues, and the stress and anxiety associated with life transitions. I have a significant amount of experience with helping clients manage relationship difficulties and teaching applicable communication strategies. You can expect me to have a warm and empathetic approach as I come to know you and your story, of which you are the expert! I will use various therapy styles to structure our dialog and help you learn healthy coping techniques that empower you towards your goals. I encourage growth, self-awareness, reflection, and self-compassion. Whether this is your first time beginning therapy or you are looking for a new provider, I look forward to coming alongside you and supporting you on your journey!
