Hi, I’m Rebecca Flickinger. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Penn State University, focusing on Human Development and Family Studies.
I found a passion for working with children and adolescents, which led me to pursue my master’s degree from Edinboro University, focusing on Trauma-informed care. I work with clients that struggle with ADHD, ODD, depression, anxiety, school stress, family conflict, trauma, building self-confidence, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I am also passionate about helping adults through work stress, addressing and working through childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, divorce, and life transitions.
Working with children, I understand the need for movement breaks and relaxation techniques,s which I will incorporate into sessions. I also understand the importance family/caregivers can play in the therapeutic relationship, so I am open to communicating with parents in the best interest of the client.
Techniques that I use include Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused interventions. I also encourage mindfulness in each of my sessions. I am passionate about helping adults who want to make a change and work toward life goals or overcome personal and professional hardships. I also enjoy helping adults work through anxiety and depression, giving and teaching skills needed to succeed.
I want each of my clients to feel empowered and build a positive therapeutic relationship where they feel safe, valued, and heard. I want to help each client gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed in school and at home; as a parent, partner, and in the community. I am here to support you in this journey of life!

Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Many individuals feel like they are at war with their bodies. Whether it’s feeling shame, guilt, or giving ourselves critical comments about our bodies, we can be our own worst enemy. Our therapists can help you feel at peace with your body and learn to be kind to yourself.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression and anxiety are extremely common, but often under-diagnosed by medical providers during pregnancy and postpartum. Our providers have specialized training to help women with anxiety and depression in this specific period in their lives.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
Trauma symptoms and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be debilitating for many who experience it. Recovery from trauma is possible and we have therapists who can help.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Reach out today to get started. Our supportive staff will help guide you through the scheduling process, discuss special requests and consult your insurance needs.
