Becky Beucher, MSW Intern

Welcome! I'm Becky, and I'm here to support you on your journey of personal growth and healing.

With a PhD and a rich educational background, I blend academic knowledge with holistic healing practices to create a unique therapeutic experience just for you. My expertise spans psychology, education, and various contemplative practices, allowing me to offer a warm, patient, and empathetic environment where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Whether you're an individual adult seeking personal growth or part of a romantic partnership looking to strengthen your relationship, I'm here to guide you. I believe therapy is a powerful tool for proactive mental health care and personal development. Together, we'll work on achieving internal balance, enhancing self-awareness, and unlocking your potential to live a fuller, more authentic life.

My approach incorporates various modalities, including Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. This contemplative approach allows us to address your concerns from multiple perspectives, honoring the complexity of your lived experience. I'm particularly fascinated by the interplay between neuroscience, consciousness, and the impact of trauma on our lives, and I bring this curiosity to our work together.

It is a privilege for me to gain insight into your thoughts and feelings. I'm genuinely excited to support you in developing greater self-awareness, fostering growth, and facilitating healing. If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Let's work together to cultivate the insight, skills, and resilience you need to thrive.

Professional Experience 

As a therapist with a rich and diverse educational background, I bring a unique and compassionate perspective to my practice. My journey through the fields of psychology, English, education, and now social work allows me to approach healing and personal growth from multiple angles, ensuring a holistic and personalized experience for each client.

I specialize in helping individuals who:

  • Feel disconnected from their bodies and/or have anxious minds.

  • Seek a deeper understanding of themselves.

  • Struggle to find connection with themselves or their partners and/or who want to proactively build strong bonds.

My approach is rooted in compassion and curiosity. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity for profound self-discovery and growth. If you're a curious person, open to exploring yourself with kindness and compassion and are ready to embark on a journey of self-understanding, we might be a perfect match.

Education:

  • Currently pursuing MSW at Illinois State University

  • PhD in Secondary Literacy Education, University of Colorado at Boulder (2015)

  • MA in English Education, Loyola Marymount University (2006)

  • BA in Psychology & English, University of Minnesota (2003)

This blend of academic disciplines enables me to offer a holistic approach to therapy, combining insights from literature, psychology, and education to help you write your own story of healing and connection.

Are you ready to get to know yourself in a new way? Let's embark on this journey together.

Professional Skills

I'm so glad you've found your way here. As a therapist, I'm deeply committed to supporting you on your journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. My approach blends the powerful techniques of Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness allowing us to address both your mind and body in our work together. I believe that true healing comes from embracing all parts of ourselves, even those we might have previously ignored or pushed away.

Whether you're seeking individual therapy, couples counseling, or support in navigating open or polyamorous relationships, I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to explore and grow. My practice is particularly well-suited for adults dealing with trauma, relationship challenges, or those simply seeking a deeper understanding of themselves.

I'm continuously expanding my skills to better serve you. Currently, I'm advancing my expertise in Somatic Experiencing, and I'm excited to begin EMDR training in Fall 2024. This ongoing education allows me to offer you the most effective, up-to-date therapeutic techniques.

If you're looking for a therapist who will work collaboratively with you, honoring your innate wisdom while providing professional guidance, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.
