About Rebecca Meline
Rebecca Meline, LMSW
Under directed experience and clinical supervision.
Does your child struggle to communicate their feelings, misunderstand social cues, or have difficulty managing intense emotions? Is your child impulsive, have trouble completing tasks, or suffer from sensory overload? These challenges can leave them feeling isolated, dampen their self-esteem, and put strain on their family and peer systems. If you or your child are looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist to navigate the journey of being or feeling different, I am here to help.
I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating the unique challenges associated with developmental differences, such as ADHD, Autism, and learning disabilities. I also work with siblings of these individuals. My clients typically range from kindergarten to college age.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic, drawing from a variety of modalities to best meet the needs of my clients. I largely draw from Play Therapy, which allows a child to express their emotions, work through trauma, and develop social skills in a natural and engaging way. I pull techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help build coping strategies and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to enhance mindfulness and emotion regulation. And, as a former Registered Behavior Technician, I use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to teach behavior modification strategies.
I am a music lover, avid reader, and proud member of the Atlanta Jewish community. I am a “lifelong” camper, attending overnight summer camp as both a camper and staff member for over ten years. Before pursuing my Masters in Social Work at UGA, I worked as a fourth grade teaching assistant and a behavioral therapist for children with severe autism.
My mission is to foster healing, growth, and a strong sense of self in each of my clients. I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to thrive.
If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
