My name is Rebecca Werts and I am a therapist and a doctoral student at the University of North Texas (UNT), pursuing my Ph.D. in Counselor Education. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in the state of TX, under the supervision of Dr. Leslie Jones, LPC-S, RPT. Through the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a 2022-2023 Doctoral Minority Fellow for the NBCC Foundation.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (2013) and Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2019), both from UNT. Through my clinical training, I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and groups, and I am passionate about health and wellness for Black women. I desire to help Black women reconcile their faith and mental health with a focus on identity and self-esteem.
My areas of focus include grief/loss, anxiety, body image, self-esteem, and various forms of trauma. I also have experience in domestic violence work in the nonprofit sector. I believe that through therapy, individuals can gain the knowledge, awareness, clarity, and tools necessary to confidently navigate their life journey. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, spending time in nature, cooking, listening to 90's R&B, and enjoying unlimited brunch.
My hope is that you are able to heal, be restored, and liberated to live your life authentically, intentionally, and optimally.
