RS HOLISTIC COUNSELING, COACHING, AND HEALING
About Me: Rebecca Schoenewolf
As a child I was curious about what motivates people to believe and behave as they do, and was the type of person who listened to others' stories and issues. It was natural for me to learn what I could from people, and offer advice when it was solicited. I enjoy puzzles of all types, creative arts, and being outdoors. I have a high sense of intuition and compassion, which enables me to connect well with other people.
As a holistic mental health clinician and Advanced Energy Healer, I am passionate about collaborating with people seeking guidance and methods to assist them through mental health issues and stresses, understanding themselves and their world, and healing the mind, body, and spirit. I love creative problem-solving, and believe in the strength and resilience of people to overcome obstacles and boundaries in order to expand and realize their full potential. Safety and confidentiality are high priorities with each client, as are creating a supportive yet challenging working relationship with you through individualized attention in each session.
Education and Training
I graduated in 1990 with a BA in psychology from Wheaton College, Massachusetts, and hold a Master’s degree in Holistic Counseling from Salve Regina University, Rhode Island (2010). I enjoy building upon my education and skills through continuing education courses and interesting workshops, and am an active member of the American Counseling Association and am professionally trained in EMDR.
Work
I have been involved in the mental health field for a combined 20 years, taking some years off to be an at-home mom. My clients have ranged from children through adults, who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, multiple personality disorder, bordeline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, traumatic brain injuries, ADHD, etc. In March 2013, I established my private practice in Providence, RI as an LMHC. In February 2017 my practice moved to Danbury, CT for mental health counseling and Brookfield, CT for Reiki and Holistic Healing. I am currently practicing holistic mental health counseling and offering Reiki Energy Healing sessions in Katonah, New York.

What makes me unique?
Being a holistic practitioner means I take you into consideration as a whole person- your background, personality, experiences, interests, strengths and areas needing improvement, family dynamics, work/career, spiritual and existential issues- in order to assist you in creating harmony, balance and greater fulfillment in your life. I have a wide array of therapeutic tools and resources to accommodate you on your journey. I am a guide and a support, choosing methods that will empower you. Some methods follow the traditional psychotherapy models, some follow a valid alternative approach, such as energy healing. You are an active participant, collaborating with me, from intake to discharge. A majority of my clients end therapy because they achieve what they desired.
I am an avid reader and self-directed researcher into the curiosities and life maps which people create to make sense of this world and their personal experiences. I enjoy learning about neurobiology and neuroplasticity, psychology and psychobiology, mind-body-spirit connections, meditation and mindfulness, areas which explore the human condition, historical novels and biographies, and spirituality and health. I enjoy attending continuing education courses, workshops and conferences. The exciting part comes in incorporating my new knowledge into sessions when appropriate.
I recently expanded my services into coaching and offering workshops and groups because I understand that people experience difficulties and hardships in their lives that do not necessarily warrant a mental health diagnosis, but who could benefit from supportive guidance. I employ effective, creative problem-solving methods based on the needs, desires, and potential capabilities of each client. I offer you coaching guidance in a non-judgmental approach to empower YOU.
Reiki and Holistic Energy Healing
In 2003 I completely lost my voice for weeks on end. No medical reason was discovered, so I went to a Reiki Master/Teacher. Through Reiki I gained my voice back and discovered within myself a deep healing practice that modern medical science, for all its benefits, is not capable of accessing. In 2004 I experienced a serious back injury and through Reiki, massage, and chiropractic care, I was able to fully regain my physical health. Since these experiences had a profound effect upon me, I started training in Reiki in 2005. I have been a practicing Usui Reiki Master/Teacher (RMT) since 2009. I became a Master/Teacher in Holy Fire Reiki in 2015, and in 2024 became a Master in Shamanic Reiki. Please note that Reiki is not a substitute for modern medical attention, but an enhancement of our own natural healing abilities.
Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) is very similar to Reiki, in that it is a hands-on healing technique. The greatest difference is that it utilizes some key acupressure points along the body.
The additional holistic healing techniques that I combine with Reiki are tuning forks, pendulum work, crystals, and music. Using a unique-to- you combination of these ancient healing techniques, we access and enhance your innate healing ability, bringing your whole system into a healthier balance that manifests in your everyday life in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual ways.
