About
I’m passionate about helping adolescents explore, navigate, and grow as individuals by creating a safe, supportive environment where they can learn, develop, and be their authentic selves.
Rebecca Platt, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, began her work at the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections, where her passion for helping adolescents took root. As her career progressed, she expanded her scope working with parents and adults in addiction care. With over 10 years of experience, she has worked in both residential and outpatient therapy settings with a variety of individuals with various mental health issues. She specializes in working with adults and youth experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Rebecca is dedicated to guiding adults
and teens through life’s challenges and helping them realize they are not defined by past trials or trauma.
Rebecca has a Master’s in Social Work from East Tennessee State University. Her approach is rooted in empathy, rapport-building, and personalized, evidence-based care that supports long-term healing and growth.
If you are ready to begin your healing journey, Rebecca invites you to reach out and schedule a time to talk. She is here to help you take the next step toward building a more empowered, authentic life.

Life can be challenging, but ultimately life is meant to be lived joyously.

He is passionate about helping his clients in those around him to find their personal power and developing skills to live a life of their own, making in line with their goals and dreams.

When I begin working with clients in PTSD or trauma therapy, I create an environment that is safe, honest, and empowering for my clients. I find the best benefit in building rapport and developing coping skills with my clients. Before a clinician digs deep with a client, the client must be shown respect and dignity and learn coping skills so they are enabled to dig deep safely.
I teach the following in PTSD/trauma therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when the client is setting healthy boundaries with others, uses coping skills on a regular basis, uses self-regulating skills, and is consistently making healthy choices in their life.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by following up with the work assigned to them by their clinician. Also, clients who are able to find healthy support in their lives have a good success rate.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can focus on their breathing to stay calm, have some type of fidget that is not too distracting during sessions, and remind themselves they will be in a safe place. There is no rush; we will take this journey at their pace.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
