LMFT • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
About
With a passion for healing and a diverse set of skills, Rebecca Pistilli brings a wealth of experience to her role as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Specializing in relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma, Rebecca's approach is both comprehensive and tailored to each client's unique needs.
Rebecca's journey to becoming a therapist is as unique as her practice. After receiving her Bachelor's in psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, she embarked on a cross-country adventure to California to "find herself." This journey led her to work in the entertainment industry, casting contestants for television game shows like Family Feud. However, her true calling beckoned, and she pursued her Master's in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton.
Post-graduation, Rebecca honed her skills working with children and families, developing a specialty in treating at-risk teens. This experience provided her with a deep understanding of human development across various life stages, forming an excellent foundation for her current work with adults. Rebecca has since advanced her expertise through specialized training in family therapy, couple's treatment, sex therapy, and trauma treatment.
For the past decade, Rebecca has not only worked as a clinician but also as a clinical supervisor, guiding counselors at all professional levels. This dual role has allowed her to stay at the forefront of therapeutic techniques while mentoring the next generation of mental health professionals. For the last six years, she has been an integral part of the SoCal Counseling Center team.
Rebecca's approach to therapy is marked by her ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges and work towards positive change. Whether working with couples navigating relationship difficulties, individuals grappling with anxiety or depression, or those processing trauma, Rebecca brings her full range of skills and empathy to each session. Her Italian family background and experiences living in different parts of the country contribute to her ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
Clients describe Rebecca as patient, kind, objective, and insightful. Her ability to be both a compassionate listener and a source of practical guidance has helped many find their way to healthier, more fulfilling lives and relationships. With Rebecca, therapy is not just about addressing problems, but about fostering growth, resilience, and optimism for the future.
