As we head into the month of May, Mental Health Awareness Month and Women’s Health Awareness Month, we are excited to announce the arrival of two new therapists to Serenity! Meet! Rebecca Hea Rin Marks and Agne Miskinis.
Rebecca Hea Rin Marks
MA, LAMFT (She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Rebecca has been working and collaborating in the mental health field in various roles for over 14 years. Her greatest passion is working with children, adolescents, families, and couples who are experiencing challenges with adoption and foster care placements, in particular dealing with attachment and personality disorders, as well as severe and persistent mental health concerns, such as bipolar and psychotic disorders.
Rebecca’s theoretical approaches are primarily Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); however, she emphasizes Trauma Informed Care and specializes in working with people who have a history of sexual trauma. As an adoptee herself, Rebeca enjoys working with the adoption and foster care communities, and their friends and families. She has experience in post-adoption services, such as birth family searches and birth country visits. Rebecca hopes to create an environment where adoptees and people who have been through adoption placement and the foster care system can express themselves, artistically and creatively through the fine arts, coupled with group psychotherapy.
In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys Swedish baking, jamming with her klezmer band, and going hiking with her husband, Jeremy and their cat, Oliver.
