Breakup therapy
Heal, Rebuild, Trust Yourself Again, and Find Secure Love After a Breakup
Breakup therapy for Millennial and Gen Z women is designed to help you process the loss, regulate overwhelming emotions, and rebuild your sense of self so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self trust.
Breakups can be devastating, even when you know the relationship was not right. You might feel heartbroken, anxious, confused, or stuck replaying every detail of what happened.
You may be questioning yourself, your choices, or whether healthy love is even possible.
That’s where Breakup therapy comes in.
We offer both group and individual therapy for Breakups, depending on what you need.

Breakup therapy FAQ
-

Breakups can activate attachment wounds, anxiety, and old emotional patterns. Therapy helps you understand what is coming up and why, without judgment.
-
Absolutely. EMDR can be a powerful tool for healing after a breakup.
Breakups often activate old attachment wounds and feelings of abandonment or rejection that go far beyond the current relationship. EMDR helps you process both the pain of this breakup and any earlier experiences that made it hit so deeply.
By helping your brain reprocess those emotional memories, EMDR allows you to move through grief, release lingering emotional ties, and reconnect with your sense of worth and self-trust.
Many clients describe EMDR as the turning point after a breakup, when they stop replaying the past and start feeling ready for the kind of healthy, secure love they truly deserve.
-
Breakup therapy provides you with space to slow down and make sense of your feelings, rather than pushing them away or trying to move on too quickly.
In breakup therapy, we work on:
Processing grief, loss, and emotional pain
Calming anxiety and nervous system overwhelm
Understanding attachment patterns and triggers
Letting go of self-blame and shame
Rebuilding confidence and self-worth
Creating emotional boundaries with an ex
Making meaning of the relationship without romanticizing it
Learning how to trust yourself again
Preparing for healthier relationships in the future
I often witness meaningful emotional shifts in breakup therapy clients within the first few sessions once we begin to regulate the nervous system and understand the pattern beneath the pain.
-
Healing looks different for everyone. Some clients feel relief and clarity within a few sessions, while others benefit from longer support to process grief, attachment wounds, or anxiety.
-
Yes. Therapy is not about telling you what to do. It helps you understand your feelings, reduce emotional reactivity, and make decisions from a grounded and self-respecting place.
-
Yes. Breakup therapy can be highly effective when done virtually.
In fact, many clients find virtual therapy for breakups even more comfortable; being in their own space can help them feel grounded and safe during emotionally charged moments.
Whether you’re working through anxiety, trauma, or past relationship wounds, Breakup therapy delivered online allows you to experience deep healing and nervous system regulation from wherever you are.
If you’re based in New York or Florida, I offer virtual sessions so you can receive consistent support and continue your healing process without the stress of commuting.
-
Yes. Breakup therapy often focuses on understanding attachment patterns and relational dynamics so you can create healthier relationships moving forward.
Each EMDR session is structured, supportive, and focused on your sense of safety.
We’ll begin with grounding techniques and check in about your current stress level so your nervous system feels regulated and prepared. Together, we’ll identify the experiences, patterns, or beliefs that keep showing up—like “I’m not enough,” “I can’t trust people,” or “I’ll always be abandoned.”
-
No. Therapy can be helpful whether the breakup was recent or happened months or years ago and still feels unresolved.
-
Trauma Informed and Integrative Approaches
Breakup therapy is trauma informed and personalized. Depending on your needs, I may integrate:
EMDR
Attachment based therapy
Nervous system and Polyvagal informed work
CBT
ACT
Mindfulness
Parts informed and inner child work
Psychodynamic psychotherapy
Energy Medicine
This allows us to work with both emotional insight and the body, helping the pain soften instead of staying stuck.
-
This is very common. Even when a breakup is necessary, it can still bring grief, guilt, and sadness. Breakup therapy helps you hold both truths at once.
Hey, I’m Rebecca!
I help Millennial and Gen Z women break toxic dating cycles + attract emotionally secure + attached love from a place of calm and confidence instead of anxiety.
I grew up on Disney movies, rom-coms, and fairy tales, which made me believe love was supposed to be simple. But like many women, I learned the hard way that dating…especially in NYC, can feel overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally draining. For over a decade, I’ve helped women heal their attachment wounds, learn to manage their anxiety as they regulate their nervous systems, and build relationships that truly feel good. If you’re ready to find and keep the real, healthy love you’ve been wanting, and stop repeating old patterns that leave you burnt out and frustrated, I’m here to help you get there.
