I have spent a decade as a licensed creative arts therapist (LCAT) in New York state and I still practice clinically. But I have came to believe that the therapy room is not the only place healing happens, and that healing shaped only by Western clinical models can quietly reinforce the very systems many of us are trying to step out of.

I built The Healing Portal on purpose, as a space that is liberation-centered, creative, somatic, and spiritual. A communal space where you do not have to be a patient or have a diagnosis to do real work, and where being seen in your full complexity is itself a profound act of healing.

This includes coaching that integrates astrology, spirituality, and creative healing services, separate from my clinical practice and not a substitute for therapy.

• I'm Latina, born in Paraguay (South America), and raised in NYC, always a little between worlds.

• I am queer and neurodivergent

• I come from a line of healers, intuitives, and sensitives, and I work primarily through clairsentience and clairempathy.

• Art saved my life once, after a brain injury, and creative expression has lived at the heart of my healing ever since.

• I am a Leo sun, Aries moon, Libra rising: a lot of fire, passion, and a lot of relational care.

• I have big lover girl energy and I do not apologize for it. I believe love in all of its forms is sacred.

• I believe in doing it scared, as the only way forward is through.

Want the fuller story, the art, the astrology, the ancestral work? I share more of that over on my social media pages @HealingWithBec

The Healing Portal is a coaching and community space that uses astrology, spirituality, and creative healing. It is not therapy.

For licensed psychotherapy, I see clients in New York State through my separate clinical practice, where I practice under my full name, Rebecca Rodas, LCAT. You can find me on Alma, Psychology Today, and Headway.
