Meet Rebecca Singer — a therapist with compassion, humor, and a love for helping others grow.

What inspired Rebecca to become a therapist?

Rebecca says she feels like she’s always been a therapist, even from a young age. “I really didn’t/don’t know anything else. I guess you could say I was born a therapist.”

Her favorite part about working with clients:

Rebecca loves helping others, but what she treasures most is how much she learns from every client she meets. She believes therapy is a shared experience where growth happens together, helping clients build confidence and self-compassion along the way.

Therapeutic approach she connects with most:

Eclectic Therapy

Rebecca believes many therapeutic approaches have value and enjoys tailoring treatment to each person’s needs — while also incorporating humor into the process because healing doesn’t always have to be so serious.

One of her goals this year:

Completing EMDR training and Level 1 certification.

Favorite way to practice self-care:

Curling up with her purring cats and reading while enjoying nature outside the window — birds, clouds, and peaceful moments included.

Favorites:

“Grumpy Old Men” & “Grumpier Old Men”

“The Five People You Meet in Heaven” — a powerful story with meaningful therapeutic messages.

Dream travel destination:

Alaska — especially by train with an open-top roof to see the stars, Northern Lights, and snow falling.

Fun fact about Rebecca:

Even though heights make her dizzy and nauseous… she absolutely LOVES parasailing and plans to do it again!

And the ultimate question…

or ?

CATS! “What’s not to love about them????”

(Though she admits dogs are cool too )

If you’ve visited Rebecca’s office, you’ve probably already noticed the cat décor and cat shoes she proudly wears daily.

The post We’ve got some exciting news! appeared first on Center for Hope and Healing.

from 6-7:30 PM. This is a 2 part group process!

Therapeutic Art Group: Zentangle/Mandalas: Diana Robinson and John Davis

Current Clients: Sign up through administrative support or email Toni at tshearer@c4hh.com

Non-clients: $25.00 per group fee. Sign up through email to Toni at tshearer@c4hh.com

This therapeutic art group for ages 16+ invites participants to explore healing, mindfulness, and self-expression through the creative practice of Zentangle and Mandala art. These structured yet calming art forms encourage focus, grounding, emotional regulation, and present-moment awareness while providing a gentle outlet for stress reduction and self-reflection.

Research continues to support the clinical connection between creative expression, mindfulness-based practices, and improvements in anxiety, emotional overwhelm, trauma symptoms, and overall mental wellness. The repetitive patterns and intentional design process used in Zentangle and Mandala work can help calm the nervous system, increase concentration, promote relaxation, and create a greater sense of inner balance and self-awareness.

No artistic experience is needed — only a willingness to slow down, create, and engage in a supportive and judgment-free environment.

If you’ve ever thought about trying Combat Fitness or kickboxing, consider this your sign. You don’t have to be experienced, athletic, or “in shape” to start. You just have to be willing to take that first step.

One of the most powerful things we can do for our mental and emotional well-being is move our bodies. Stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life’s challenges can leave us feeling stuck, but movement has a way of shifting energy, releasing tension, and reminding us of our strength.

Just look at the smiles afterward! Sometimes the hardest part is showing up, but the reward is often feeling stronger, lighter, and more empowered than when you arrived.

Come join us. Challenge yourself. Move your body. Change your energy. You might be surprised by what you’re capable of. #CombatFitness#MindBodyHealing#TraumaInformedWellness#MoveToHeal#CenterForHopeAndHealing#StrongerThanYouThink

We are so excited to welcome Maribeth Gutshall back to the Center for Hope and Healing as she helps us continue creating opportunities for healing through movement, connection, and wellness. Maribeth brings such a supportive, encouraging energy and a genuine passion for helping others reconnect with their strength — both physically and emotionally.

Fitness has been Maribeth’s passion for more than 15 years. Having survived her own medical trauma, she deeply understands how important movement and staying active can be in the healing process. As a group fitness and personal trainer, she loves motivating others to push past limitations, build confidence, and move toward healthier, more empowered lives. Combat/Kickboxing is one of her favorite classes to teach because of the strength, stress release, and confidence it can help build in others.

Outside of the gym, Maribeth loves staying active, enjoying beach days, loving on dogs, and embracing all things Disney.

Join us for Combat Fitness — a beginner-friendly weekly class designed to improve both physical and emotional wellness through guided movement, cardio, strength building, and healthy stress release techniques inspired by combat-style fitness training. This class is not about aggression — it is about empowerment, resilience, confidence, and reconnecting the mind and body in a safe, trauma-informed environment.

Research continues to show the strong connection between aerobic movement and improvements in depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, stress management, confidence, and overall mental health. Whether you are looking to reduce stress, reconnect with your body, gain confidence, or simply take one healthy step forward, this class welcomes you exactly as you are.

Beginner Friendly

Trauma-Informed & Supportive

Mind/Body Wellness Focused

Safe Space for Growth & Empowerment

No prior fitness or combat experience is needed.

$10 donation fee for non-clients.

Clients may sign up through the front desk.

Come move, release, heal, and grow with us.
