ABOUT ME
Rebecca Crossley, PhD (she/her)
I am a licensed psychologist providing individual therapy for adolescents (14 and older) and adults in Oregon. My work is grounded in a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that centers your lived experience, salient identities, and values. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels thoughtful, respectful, and supportive of meaningful, sustainable change.
I work with individuals navigating trauma, mood concerns, identity exploration, body image and eating concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Many of the people I work with are insightful and self-aware, yet find themselves wanting deeper support, greater clarity, or new ways of understanding and responding to what they’re carrying.
My path to becoming a psychologist was shaped by a deep respect for the ways our experiences, relationships, and cultural contexts shape who we are. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership—one grounded in trust, curiosity, and care. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, develop tools that feel aligned with your values, and create space for growth that feels both meaningful and sustainable.
I approach this work with an awareness of how culture, identity, and systemic experiences shape mental health and access to care. My own lived experiences and identities inform my commitment to providing culturally responsive, affirming, and socially attuned therapy. I identify as biracial (White and Hispanic), straight, cisgender, and not currently living with a disability. As a straight, cisgender woman working with LGBTQ+ individuals, I hold an ongoing awareness of the ways privilege and marginalization can shape our experiences and the importance of offering affirming, respectful care. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported within the full context of their identities and lived experiences.
I feel honored to do this work and to support the individuals who invite me into their healing and growth.
Outside of my work, I value time with my family and being outdoors. I’m married and a parent to two young children, and I understand the complexity of balancing personal, professional, and caregiving roles. I bring this perspective into my work with thoughtfulness and respect for the many demands people carry in their daily lives.
Training & Professional Background
I am trained in a range of evidence-based treatments and draw from multiple therapeutic approaches in my work. While these models inform my practice, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. I take a collaborative and individualized approach, integrating different methods to best support each person’s goals, values, and lived experiences.
My clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT-E), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), STAIR (Skills Training in Affective & Interpersonal Regulation), ACT for PTSD, and LGBTQ+-affirming and gender-affirming care, including letters of support for gender-affirming medical treatment.
I completed my APA-accredited doctoral internship at the Portland VA Health Care System. I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology from New Mexico State University, a Master of Counseling (MCoun) from Idaho State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Idaho State University. I am a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Oregon.
