hello, i’m rebecca wong

I’m a trauma therapist and educator who specializes in integrative modalities for somatic relational trauma resolution. I’m on a quest to help folks heal the legacy of transgenerational trauma, increase trust in the wisdom of their protective systems, and develop Connectfulness® practices that support relational wellness for generations to come.  

I love nothing more than helping people get real and reconnected in their bodies and relationships and deepen self trust.

All of my life, I’ve been fascinated by what it means to be human. This fascination has driven me deep into the study of art, film and storytelling, experiential learning, relationships, sexuality, the human reproductive life cycle, the transmission of intergenerational trauma, parenthood, attachment, loss and human behavior, performance, relationships, somatic healing, and interpersonal neurobiology.

I’ve been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2003. My work blends modalities for relational trauma healing. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, certified in Relational Life Therapy and Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapy and a forever student of Interpersonal Neurobiology. I blend these modalities together in an integrative, body based, brain savvy, experiential relational practice I call Connectfulness®.

I reside in New York’s Hudson Valley on unceded Lenapehoking land with my husband, our teens, and a handful of four-legged furry mischief-makers. I maintain a private therapy practice online serving folks (18+) in the states of New York, Colorado, and Massachusetts. I’m a neurodivergent cis white woman. I go by the pronouns she/her/they.

I also host several podcasts, lead experiential workshops, specialize in relationship intensives, and offer consultation to therapists. Learn more about these offerings here.
