Meet Rebecca

Rebecca Mullaney, LCMHC

Incorporating horses into therapy sessions has been a dream of mine for years and I grateful to offer this approach to folks in my community. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) I have a deep passion for helping people live full, peaceful and enriched lives and believe that therapy can be instrumental in achieving this goal. It’s my belief that therapy should be client-focused, and I work with my clients to develop sessions that are unique to them. I approach therapy through a cognitive behavioral and person-centered lens, but pull from different techniques and theories to best support each individual client. Sessions often include traditional office time as well as equine assisted work in the arenas and pastures.

My educational background includes a post-masters Educational Specialty in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The George Washington University (2016), a Masters of Arts in School Psychology and Counseling from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (2012) and a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from Stephen F. Austin State University (2009). I have specialized training in experiential therapy and am a certified mental health professional and equine specialist with the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) and am trained in both the EAGALA and Natural Horsemanship methods. Additionally, I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and specialize in helping people recover from and thrive after surviving trauma.

As a former elementary school teacher, school counselor, military suicide prevention specialist, and veterans mental health consultant I feel comfortable working with clients of all ages and backgrounds.

I am grateful to be able to serve the mental health needs of folks in coastal North Carolina, and am excited to share the powerful gift of equine therapy with those in need.
