We’re taught to think of relationships as static states of being in connection or disconnection, but they’re actually ecosystems that move through cycles of closeness, discord, and repair.
For many people, these normal and necessary seasons end up being the downfall of their relationship. Why? Because we aren’t taught how to navigate discord and repair.
Discord is built into the very nature of relationships.
Moment by moment, day by day, you have opportunities to develop new insights and skills to meet hard moments, expand your capacity to navigate rupture and repair, and deepen trust in yourself. As you rumble through the normal and necessary process of rupture and repair inside relationships you grow trust that you can do hard things.
Understanding the natural cycles of relationships and tuning into to your own nervous system will help you slow down and build greater resilience and trust that you can navigate ruptures and that discord and repair can lead you into greater intimacy and deeper trust with yourself and all of your relations.
The Connectfulness® approach blends integrative relational trauma modalities with deeply attuned, un-agenda-ed presence to help heal legacy burdens, increase trust in the wisdom of protective systems, and develop relational practices to support generational wellness.
I offer experiential online therapy to people in the states of New York, Massachusetts, and Colorado and in-person therapy in New Paltz, NY. I work with people (18+) of all races, religions, cultures, abilities, genders, sexualities, and consensual relationship structures who are interested in relational healing.
One person, partnership or relationship system at a time, intensives blend integrative relational trauma modalities. Structured as a series of 7 long-form sessions in close succession totaling 20-hours, intensives offer an efficient and deep entry into your relational healing journey.
All offerings incorporate experiential work and brain-savvy insights to help you and get unstuck and cultivate transformation. If you want to deepen your awareness of self and move into more vulnerability, authenticity, and accountability, these offerings are for you.
Bring your therapist and human selves to explore therapeutic challenges. I’ll guide you towards developing more ease and trust in your work with experiential and somatic trauma recovery, relational health interventions, weaving in neurobiology, and integrating shared-power-with practices.
Journey with us into deeper relational healing and greater connectfulness; our podcasts help undo some of the aloneness we all experience.

Hello, I’m Rebecca Wong, LCSW, SEP
I have long been on a quest to help folks heal legacy burdens, increase trust in the wisdom of their protective systems, and develop relational practices that support generational wellness. I’ve been practicing as a psychotherapist since 2003, and I’ve been on my own healing journey since forever.
The lineage of my work blends modalities for relational trauma healing together in an integrative experiential practice I call Connectfulness®. My offerings cultivate relational brain states that help you (and the people you work with) integrate felt sense learnings to get you unstuck, cultivate transformation, deepen authenticity, and conjure possibilities.
My journey into this work led me through indirect explorations of religion, philosophy, art, film and photography, wilderness survival, grief, sexuality, and my personal experience of understanding my own neurodivergence. I now recognize how it all weaves together rich with meaning, yet for a long time, I felt I was stumbling to find my way.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Internal Family Systems therapist, Relational Life Therapist and Facilitator, Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapist, and am among the first cohort certified in new neurobiological approach called The STAIR Method. I am licensed as a clinical social worker in New York, Colorado, and Massachusetts and maintain a private therapy practice, host/co-host podcasts that center on the relational healing journey, facilitate experiential workshops, and consult with therapists who want to integrate somatic trauma recovery, relational health interventions, and shared-power-with practice into their clinical work. I specialize in offering in-person/online relationship intensives to folks seeking profound relational shifts. I love helping folks discover and deepen self-trust.
I reside in New York’s Hudson Valley on unceded Lenapehoking land with my partner, our teens, and a handful of four-legged furry mischief-makers. I’m a neurospicey cis white woman and go by the pronouns she/her/they. Outside of my work I’m a nerd who enjoy hiking the Gunks, family time, the wisdom of trees, fantasy fiction and art-journaling.
