 Therapeutic Care for Anxiety, Trauma, Eating Disorders, and more

 Rebecca Kuhns, MD

Hello!

​

I'm Rebecca Kuhns, a psychiatrist. I mostly practice psychotherapy, but also enjoy sharing clients with other therapists by providing adjunctive consultation and management of psychotropic medication. 

My style is warm, empathetic, and often quite direct.  I believe strongly in authenticity and in the power of human connection. I work to learn each individual deeply so that I can help you better understand your own areas of pain or conflict, and help support you as you navigate the way forward.   I am passionate about racial equity and feminist theory , I have specialized training in working with individuals with eating disorders (I practice from a Health At Every Size lens in my eating disorder work) and I work extensively with members of the LGBTQ+ community. 

 I believe that therapy is a powerful tool, and that the support of carefully selected pharmaceutical agents can often be a beneficial component of treatment as well. I am currently accepting clients for medication management services only; I anticipate having open therapy slots again sometime in fall 2020.
