Dr. Rebecca Glass — Philadelphia Couples Therapy

Dr. Rebecca Glass

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

It is a privilege to be present for others in a time of need, and witness their eventual joy and thriving.

Rebecca specializes in helping couples rebuild relationships after life-altering events. She believes that despite having traumatic or negative experiences, with the right support and freedom to process at one’s own pace, people show remarkable resilience. The goal of healing from trauma is not to erase the past but rather to process emotions and experiences and feel empowered to thrive.

Rebecca works with couples navigating the prenatal and postpartum period in addition to the myriad stressors of parenthood. Welcoming children into the family is both extremely exciting and deeply stressful and can take an emotional toll on even the strongest relationships. Rebecca specializes in working with parents on processing the postpartum experience such as postpartum mental health and physical concerns, rebuilding intimacy, and aligning parenting styles.

Additionally, she has extensive experience working with substance use and exploring motivation to remain sober. Recovery is very rarely a straight line and is often a crisis of disconnection. Rebecca helps clients change their relationships with alcohol, substances, food, finances and sex, and helps them connect to their true values.

Rebecca provides a space where couples don’t need to carry everything by themselves. There are a million reasons to come to therapy and Rebecca wants to help people not only accomplish the goals they bring to therapy but to help them grow into a version of themselves that they love and cherish.

Therapy with Rebecca is individualized, collaborative, and warm. She incorporates humor and mindfulness into treatment with the goal of creating a space where people feel safe to explore and grow with the support they need, ultimately finding relationships that offer peace, awareness, and vitality.

I live by the philosophy that

while many things are out of one’s control, how you choose to show up and respond is actively in your control.

I could spend every day

playing and being silly with my family.

As a therapist, I

believe that relationships with the self and others are one of the most important things we can cultivate in this world.

Reconceptualizing Forgiveness in Our Relationships

Heading into the holiday season feels different for everyone. Some are filled with excitement; others, with dread.

This year, we’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. Within relationships and families, it’s a word that comes up often and for good reason. Those closest to us are also the ones most capable of hurting us, whether intentionally or not.

Forgiveness can be complicated, hard to define, and harder still to practice. Society often frames it as a final destination, a moment when we release all resentment and move forward unburdened. But when forgiveness feels like a mountaintop to reach, it can seem out of reach altogether.

What if we saw it differently? Instead of a lofty, one-time achievement, what if forgiveness were an ongoing, everyday practice, something we do continuously? What if we normalized apologizing and forgiving many times a day, just as we ask children to do: apologize, forgive, and move on.
