Dr. Rebecca Thompson, CA Psychologist 20610

Dr. Rebecca Thompson brings a deep background in neuropsychology to her work, applying a brain-informed view to help people of different ages and life stages. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults, observing how shared brain structures help explain links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and using that knowledge to guide therapeutic planning.

Her doctoral training and the varied experiences that preceded graduate school inform a methodical yet compassionate approach. She listens with an open mind, helps clients clarify goals, and partners with them as they take active steps toward change. She does not do the work for clients but walks alongside them, offering alternative perspectives, shaping practical plans, and supporting efforts to improve daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Colleagues and those who have worked with her note that she is approachable, deliberate in her recommendations, and attentive to individual needs. With a wide range of life and clinical experience, she seeks common ground to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship and to support each person on a path of self-discovery. She holds CA Psychologist 20610, a California psychologist license number 20610.

Her clinical interests include first responder issues, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, living with chronic pain, depression, social anxiety, relationship concerns, and performance anxiety. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused approaches to address these challenges in ways tailored to each person.
