Therapists in Kirkwood guide your healing journey
Rebecca Ehrke, Psy.D., SEP
My name is Rebecca Ehrke and I am so privileged to be the practice owner of LIHC. It has been a dream of mine for many years to create a practice that treats trauma in the whole person.
Being in the mental health field for over 20 years, I have seen firsthand that trauma cannot be effectively treated by talk therapy alone. Although talk therapy is very effective and useful for many issues, neuroscience research has shown that it does not reach the subcortical parts of the brain where trauma lives.
I have dedicated my life to studying ways to effectively access trauma that has been deeply held in one's body, mind and spirit. As a result, I have had the honor of witnessing so many heal and live the lives they were meant to have.
In 2007, I began a life-changing journey by completing the 3-year Somatic Experiencing Professional Training Certificate Program and becoming a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Since then, I have become an approved SE session provider and SE consultant at all training levels and also provide supervision to Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselors.
In addition, I am a Certified EMDR Therapist. Currently, I utilize Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and Internal Family Systems at LIHC to treat the effects of trauma. My specializations include addictions, eating disorders, attachment trauma, parental stress and traumatic grief though I work with a wide variety of mental health issues.
My standard rate for individual therapy is $150.00. I do not currently accept insurance but can provide a statement for out-of-network reimbursement.
