Rebecca Kinshella Counseling

Professional counseling and psychotherapy services in Rockwall, TX

Hi! I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Rebecca Kinshella. I’m a mental health counselor and I. Love. This. Work. Why? Because life is hard! And I don’t think we were built to do it alone. Yet so many of us spend years struggling through, feeling as if asking for help makes us “weak” or “needy.” In truth, however, I have come to learn that developing the skills to be vulnerable, communicate your needs, and authentically feel your feelings is one of the strongest and bravest things you can do. Therapy is the place to try that out in a safe environment. I like to joke that if it all goes bad you can fire me and just never show up again, so what do you have to lose?

Who I Work With

Therapy only works if you like me and feel like I like you (seriously! It’s in the research.) And I want therapy to work for anyone brave enough to seek it out. That’s why I am very clear up front about the kinds of clients I work well with, and who seem to thrive in our work together. I have experience in a variety of issues and disorders, but the common thread is this:

I work with people sick of feeling like they’re living a double life.

What does this mean? Let me give you some examples:

  • The “life of the party” who secretly purges her meals and feels powerless to stop.

  • The “golden child” who keeps all their struggles buried because they are terrified to let their perfect image slip.

  • The high-level professional who “has it all” but feels deeply dissatisfied with their relationships.

  • The mom desperately trying to “keep it together” but who feels like she is drowning.

And anyone who feels like they are just faking their way through the day

If this resonates for you, my first question is this:
What would it be like to stop pretending?

If that idea both terrifies you and feels like it could be the biggest relief in the world, you’re in the right place. Together, we can work to gently peel back the layers of the facade and uncover a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your true values. Because I promise you - the world is better off with a little more YOU in it.
