Rebecca Ziskind, MS, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor · National Certified Counselor · Owner

Rebecca Ziskind, MS, LPC, NCC

Rebecca Ziskind, MS, LPC, NCC, is the owner of RZ Therapy Solutions PLLC and a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in counseling from the University of Saint Joseph. She specializes in child therapy, teen therapy, family therapy, and parent support, as well as working with adults navigating the emotional complexities of parenthood, identity, relationships, and life transitions.

Rebecca understands that becoming a parent can bring old wounds, attachment experiences, fears, and patterns from our own childhood to the surface—often in ways we never expected. She helps parents understand what may be happening beneath the surface, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and build stronger, more intentional connections with their children.

Her approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and person-centered. Recognizing that people often heal and process experiences in non verbal ways, she incorporates therapy, art, sand tray, and other creative approaches to support authentic expression and healing.

Ashlee uses a warm, strengths-based, person-centered approach grounded in CBT and DBT principles. Because children and teens often express their inner worlds in nonverbal ways, Ashlee incorporates play, art, and creative expression to help them explore emotions, strengthen self-awareness, and build adaptive coping skills.
