Rebecca (Becca) Halbert, LCSW
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the proud founder of The Wave Effect Therapeutic Solutions.
I established The Wave Effect to address a gap in care for individuals who struggle with talk therapy and other traditional treatment modalities.
I have 10+ years of experience in the mental health field in a variety of settings. I am proficient in several evidence-based practices and have been involved in the implementation and management of treatment programs for nonprofit organizations.
I have learned from experience that some individuals may not respond to conventional interventions. Although I have watched my clients make tremendous progress with the aid of talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and other conventional modalities, some clients may get “stuck” or plateau at a certain stage. For this reason, I am passionate about providing alternative treatment modalities that are tailored to each person and yield effective change.
I am particularly excited to offer cutting edge neurofeedback treatment. I am a certified LENS neurofeedback practitioner. I have been practicing LENS since 2021 and have experience with individuals across the lifespan. While using these interventions, I have watched my clients overcome significant barriers and create lasting change for themselves.
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my husband, 2 children and 2 dogs. I would love to support you in your wellness journey.
