About Rebecca…

Rebecca Thompson, M.S., holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree in Education.
Testimonial: My name is Tress Miles and I am the single mom to a 6 year old daughter that I adopted from Guatemala when she was 2.  I had some small concerns about her behaviors but didn't have huge concerns until she went to kindergarten.  After about a month, I became convinced that Lillie fit the description of a child with trauma history.  I read Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control by Heather Forbes, LCSW, and Dr. Bryan Post, LCSW and began to implement the parenting paradigm described in the book.  After 6 months in public school, Lillie refused to go anymore.  She was obviously overwhelmed by school, so I began homeschooling her.  I, too, felt overwhelmed by having my daughter and her severe behaviors at home with me 24/7.  I had absolutely no support person or support group whatsoever.  I had taken Lillie to a child psychologist in the area, but she was not trained in BCLC and did not think I should be homeschooling Lillie.  I felt as though I was "twisting in the wind."  So I contacted Rebecca Thompson, M.S. to explore the possibility of phone coaching.  We began talking on the phone once a week in late February.  I feel that these phone calls have kept me sane during this time.  It is frustrating to know how you want to parent your child but can find no professional help in your area.  Phone coaching solves that problem because you can live anywhere in the country and have a parenting coach who lives anywhere in the country.  It amazes me that Lillie has made great strides since last February and yet the therapist who is helping her has never met her!  Phone coaching works!
