Becca Perry LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
For over 20 years, I have been helping people reconnect with and love their authentic selves. Beginning with my work as a facilitator for the personal growth workshop Heart of Now, I have facilitated direct contact with feelings and insights through body awareness and mindfulness. By understanding ourselves on the deepest level, we find tenderness for our own and others' humanity. When we communicate from that place, lives are changed.
That understanding has deepened my interest in Internal Family Systems (IFS), which offers a compassionate map of the inner world, helping us see not just that we have painful patterns, but why, and how to meet them with curiosity rather than shame. It has also drawn me toward Relational Life Therapy (RLT), which carries that same tenderness into our closest relationships, where our oldest wounds tend to be felt and real healing becomes possible.
In addition to individual and relational counseling, I enjoy leading transformational groups. I am a co-facilitator of Eugene Community Dance, an outdoor dance and play space in the River Road area. I love to sing, dance, kayak, hike, and create nature-based rituals. I am grateful to live by the river in Eugene.
My Approach
Awareness
Awareness includes being present with the way our feelings rise and fall within us in response to inner and outer happenings.
Self-Compassion
Many of the patterns we struggle with developed for good reasons; they were once the best available response to difficult circumstances. When we understand the logic behind our adaptations, judgment softens into curiosity, and real self-compassion becomes possible.
Your Inner World
We carry within us many different voices, feelings, and impulses that can seem contradictory or hard to understand. Learning to meet these with patience rather than resistance is often where the deepest healing begins.
Mind-Body-Nature Connection
We experience our feelings primarily as body sensations. They are impacted by our thoughts and by what we pay attention to in both the inner and outer environment. The interplay of mind, body, and nature is fertile ground for healing.
Rediscovering What Matters
In adapting to the world, we sometimes lose touch with what is most meaningful to us. Beneath our protective patterns, there is usually a clearer sense of what we value, what we long for, and who we truly are. Therapy can help us find our way back to that.
Finding Your Voice
How we communicate with the people closest to us is often shaped by old patterns rather than present feeling. When we learn to speak from a more grounded and connected place, our relationships can shift in ways that feel surprising and lasting.
The Relational Heart
Whether we are working individually or with a partner, the goal is the same — to heal the relational wounds that shape how we see ourselves and how we show up for others. Individual and relational healing are not separate paths. They inform and deepen each other.
