Rebecca Pearlson, Psychologist

Rebecca Pearlson helps adults across Rhode Island navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and evidence-based strategies. Through individual therapy at LifeStance Health, she supports clients managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex identity or relationship concerns, creating a safe and affirming space to explore emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience. Her approach blends warmth with clinical expertise to guide clients toward meaningful and lasting change. She is especially passionate about supporting clients exploring gender identity, navigating midlife transitions, and addressing trauma-related concerns such as PTSD. Rebecca works closely with clients to understand how personal history, societal pressures, and life changes impact mental well-being. She partners with clients to cultivate self-awareness, enhance coping strategies, and foster empowerment, while offering additional support for women’s mental health, anxiety, and relationship dynamics. Her work emphasizes collaboration, validation, and practical skill-building tailored to each individual. Rebecca incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices to help clients manage symptoms, regulate emotions, and navigate challenging situations. She provides affirming care to LGBTQ+ clients as well as men and women, creating a sex-positive and kink-aware environment that respects each person’s lived experiences. Her approach supports clients in achieving personal goals while building resilience and self-compassion. Outside of her professional work, Rebecca enjoys baking, cooking, gardening, and spending time with her 16-year-old Bengal cat, Meeko. These activities reflect her appreciation for creativity, mindfulness, and connection, which she brings into her therapeutic practice. Rebecca Pearlson provides individual therapy through LifeStance Health and serves clients throughout Rhode Island.
