Rebecca Wong

Psychotherapy & Postpartum Support

I am Rebecca Wong, a NYS Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from New York University with my Masters in Social Work and I have worked with clients in both private practice and in agencies since 2003. I began my career as a psychotherapist in NYC specializing in young adult and women's issues within the specialized field of oncology. In 2006, I completed a Post-Graduate Certificate in Sex and Relationship Therapy. In 2008, my husband and I moved up to the Hudson Valley to focus on starting a family. As I entered motherhood my interest in working with women and families struggling with the delicate postpartum period grew.

Pregnancy, childbirth and becoming a parent are times of tremendous transition. Hormonal changes and sleep deprivation coupled with new expectations, roles and responsibilities often leave us in a whirlwind as new parents. We expect bringing home baby to be such a time of joy but many new mothers (and fathers and siblings as well) experience a wide range of emotional reactions. These shifts of emotion often resolve themselves. Sometimes, however, a collaborative, supportive approach may help offer relief.

I am here to offer a hand through this transition into parenthood, especially if you find yourself overwhelmed with depression or anxiety. My treatment approach is gentle, eclectic and creative. My work is based in contemporary psychodynamic theory but I rely on my client's intuitive guidance to craft a treatment that best suits our work together.

I am also studying to become a postpartum doula and breastfeeding counselor and am mother to two wild little girls.

I am currently seeing clients by appointment at The Living Seed and I offer home visits for new and expanding families. Out-of-network insurance reimbursement may be available (depending on your insurance plan) and sliding scale rates.
