Meet Rebecca
Hi! My name is Rebecca Pendrick and I am the owner of Emerald Counseling and Wellness. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC013031) and a Registered Play Therapist (T5893) in Georgia specializing in behavior concerns, childhood trauma, and ADHD. I am also a certified School Counselor in Georgia. I earned a Masters of Education in School Counseling from Georgia State University and an Education Specialist degree from the University of West Georgia.
I work primarily with children and families who are concerned about their child’s anxiety, ADHD, or trauma symptoms, and help parents and teachers navigate school issues to advocate for their child’s social, emotional and academic success.
I use an integrative approach to establish trust and safety, and provide a compassionate environment where children feel confident to express themselves through their natural language of play. Using both directive and non-directive approaches, such as child-centered, synergetic, and trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, I help children process their experiences, build resilience, and develop skills so they can be the best version of themselves, now and in the future.
I believe all behavior is a form of communication, and together, we can explore what you or your child’s behavior is trying to say to build greater growth, life balance and authentic connections.
