Rebekah Cohodas, M.ED.
Resident
Ms. Cohodas studied neuroscience and public health at William & Mary and graduated in 2023. She then pursued her Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from William & Mary’s School of
Education in 2025.
As a queer woman, Ms. Cohodas is passionate about working with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community. During her master’s program, she had the honor of providing affirmative counseling and is especially committed to supporting clients through identity exploration and acceptance. While earning her master's degree, she gained experience at an outpatient private practice, working with adolescents, pre-teens, and adults facing a range of mental health challenges.
​
​When it comes to counseling, she understands that the most important factor is the strong therapeutic alliance between the client and the counselor. With that in mind, she brings authenticity, non-
judgement, and a touch of humor to her sessions.
Ms. Cohodas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to teach helpful coping and grounding skills. Additionally, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy allows her to personalize counseling, focusing on the client’s core values and helping them live authentically in line with those values. Ms. Cohodas also takes a systems approach, looking at the various influences in a person's life—from their community and family to their inner self.
Overall, Ms. Cohodas genuinely aims to see the humanness in each and every one of her clients, rather than defining them solely by their symptoms. She highlights your strengths and encourages progress over perfection. You’ll be warmly accepted here, and Ms. Cohodas looks forward to supporting you as you walk your healing journey.
