How Rebecca works

A calm, practical approach to addiction counseling.

I’m Rebecca New, a Licensed Associate Addiction Counselor in Arizona. My work is centered on helping adults feel safe enough to be honest, understood enough to stay engaged, and supported enough to make meaningful, practical steps forward. I take an individualized, trauma-informed approach to counseling, integrating traditional talk therapy with evidence-based therapeutic approaches to address addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns.

I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore difficult experiences, develop healthier relationships with themselves and others, strengthen emotional flexibility, and build a recovery path that reflects their individual needs and values

  • Brainspotting

    Gently process core shame and trauma connected to addiction so healing feels steadier, safer, and less overwhelming. Brainspotting helps you work through the painful experiences beneath cravings and substance use, without years of work.

  • Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT)

    RO-DBT helps people whose eating disorders are tied to rigid self-control and perfectionism by building openness, flexibility, and genuine social connection, so that loosening their grip on rules and emotional masking becomes safer than relying on restriction to feel in control.

  • Motivational Interviewing

    Strengthen your own motivation for change by exploring what matters most to you without pressure or judgment. Explore your own reasons for change and resolve any ambivalence towards a new future and better you.

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

    Focus on immediate, realistic progress by identifying what is already helping and building from those strengths.

  • Somatic & Polyvagal-Informed Support

    Use body-based awareness to notice stress signals early and restore a greater sense of calm, safety, and regulation.

  • Person-Centered Care

    Move at a pace that respects your story, values, and goals, with therapy shaped around your lived experience.

Common Questions

Answers to help you feel informed and safe before booking

If you're unsure where to start, these quick answers can help you decide whether counseling with me is the right next step.

What might addiction counseling involve?

Sessions are tailored to your goals and may include practical coping tools, pattern awareness, relapse-prevention planning, and approaches such as DBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, Brainspotting, and person-centered support.

How can I tell if Rebecca is the right fit for me?

A good fit usually feels respectful, collaborative, and emotionally safe. If you want a counselor who is warm, calm, faith-aware when relevant, and grounded in addiction-focused care, an initial appointment can help you assess comfort and alignment.

Do you support both substance-related and behavior/process addictions?

Yes. Support includes concerns related to alcohol, drugs, and marijuana, as well as process and behavior patterns such as gaming, internet use, pornography, sex-related compulsive behavior, and eating-disorder-related struggles.

What makes the counseling style warm and person-centered?

Care is built around your pace, your lived experience, and practical next steps. I combine clinical structure with compassionate listening, aiming to help you feel understood while developing skills that support lasting change in daily life.

How should professionals think about referral fit?

Referral fit is strongest for adults seeking addiction-focused counseling in a respectful, collaborative setting. My experience with ADHD, autism, and disability support can be especially helpful when these factors are part of the clinical picture.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

When you feel ready, reaching out is a steady first step toward support that is practical, respectful, and compassionate.
