Meet The Founder
Discover the Vision and Passion Behind Our Practice
Welcome to my counseling practice! My name is Rebecca Escalante, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with an unwavering commitment to helping you navigate life's challenges and unlock your full potential. Having spent the past 8 years in practice in the vibrant Matthews, North Carolina area, my roots are embedded in the hustle and heart of New York. This blend of experiences from diverse cultural landscapes has equipped me with a broad perspective, allowing me to approach each client with an open mind and an empathetic heart.

As a licensed clinical mental health counselor I have always been deeply passionate about making a meaningful difference in people's lives. I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of compassionate, evidence-based counseling, and it's these experiences that inspired me to open Transformative Healing. My vision was to create a sanctuary, a place in Matthews, NC, where individuals, couples, and families could safely embark on their unique journeys of healing. Transformative Healing embodies my dedication to helping you navigate the complexities of life, encouraging your growth, and fostering resilience for whatever comes your way.
​
I understand the nuances and complexities that come with human emotions and relationships. I specialize in offering compassionate, personalized therapy for couples, teens, and the LGBTQIA+ community. My work with couples seeks to foster healthy communication, mutual understanding, and rekindled connection. When working with teens, I aim to help them navigate the tricky terrains of adolescence, build resilience, and cultivate self-esteem. For my LGBTQIA+ clients, I provide an affirming, safe space to explore identity, overcome unique challenges, and promote self-acceptance.

​
By employing a warm, client-centered approach, I create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can feel safe to explore, discuss, and confront the issues that are affecting your life. My aim is to guide you towards a more fulfilling, balanced, and happy life, to help you understand yourself better, and to assist you in establishing healthier patterns of thought and behavior.
​
I invite you to take the first step towards the journey of self-discovery and healing. Let's work together to build the life you deserve and aspire to. Contact me today to book your first appointment and let's embark on this therapeutic journey together.
