Rebecca Stone is a graduate of Columbia College in New York where she was named the Henry S. Coleman Leadership Scholar. There she served on the University Senate and on two student governing boards.  Rebecca also holds a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Reformed Theological Seminary and has extensive teaching experience.  She started tutoring privately at age ten and has taught many subjects, including essential counseling concepts to college resident assistants, General Psychology as an adjunct university instructor of psychology for five years, and communication, managing difficult interactions, and mastering change in the corporate environment.

 

Rebecca has been a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Specialist in private practice since 2012, working with groups and numerous individuals to help them heal from the devastating effects of this form of abuse.  Clients often tell Rebecca, "I've finally found someone who understands just how painful and difficult this is, and I feel hope for the first time." Her efforts to combat narcissism extend outside the therapy room and classroom.  In response to the increasing number of alarming narcissistic acts devoid of empathy recounted by her younger clients (teens and preteens), Rebecca authored a character and kindness curriculum for schools and families. She also is seeking to create an internet option which protects those most vulnerable from psychological assault.  Other current projects include the creation of narcissistic abuse recovery and marriage psychoeducational programs.
