Rebecca Balch, LPC

Rebecca Balch is a licensed professional counselor based in our Chicago West Loop clinic. With a compassionate approach, Rebecca specializes in providing support and guidance for individuals facing mental health diagnoses and challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, trauma and life transitions.

Her tailored treatment approaches include trauma informed and culturally sensitive care, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and strength-based interventions. Rebecca offers individual therapy for both teens and adults, creating a safe and supportive space for patients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Rebecca believes in the transformative power of self-discovery, acknowledging that while the process of untangling can be painful, it is also beautiful and necessary. She is dedicated to fostering a safe environment where patients can authentically be themselves, unmasked and unjudged. Rebecca recognizes that true introspection and the enactment of insights require bravery, and she strives to provide the secure foundation for patients to embark on this journey.

Enthusiastic about working with individuals who may feel unseen or unimportant in any capacity, Rebecca feels it’s her privilege to meet patients where they’re at in their struggles with depression, PTSD symptoms, anxiety or other concerns. Eager to understand each client’s unique worldview, Rebecca collaborates with them to tailor therapy to their needs. Her therapeutic style is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and adaptable to ensure the best possible fit for each individual.

Rebecca earned a Master of Arts in counseling from Adler University, where she honed her skills and developed a profound understanding of therapeutic interventions. Her commitment to the field is further underscored by a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Maryland.

In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys pursuing various interests such as crocheting, indulging in novels, immersing herself in musical theater, and caring for plants. These hobbies not only showcase her creative side but also contribute to her holistic approach to well-being.

Rebecca is committed to helping patients navigate their journeys towards healing, providing the support and tools needed to create positive change and relief. If she believes her patients need more than psychotherapy, she may recommend Relief’s innovative treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or psychedelics (SPRAVATO® or IV ketamine).
