Rebecca Tanguay, LICSW (She/Her)

Founder, Visionary Clinical Director

Rebecca is currently not accepting new clients. She is dedicated to growing Life's A Journey Counseling by mentoring clinicians, expanding services, and increasing access to compassionate, high-quality mental health care throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

I've always believed two things: people deserve to be heard, and everyone deserves a place where they can heal without judgment.

Since beginning my clinical career in 2011, I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting, identity, addiction, and life's many transitions. My experiences in community mental health, leadership, and private practice inspired me to create something different—a practice built on authenticity, collaboration, and genuine human connection.

In 2018, that vision became Life's A Journey Counseling, LLC. Today, I'm proud to lead a growing team of dedicated clinicians who share one mission: creating a welcoming space where clients can come as they are and find the support they need to move forward.

Every journey has a story and this is only the beginning of mine. Click below to learn more about my path and the vision behind Life's A Journey Counseling.
