About Me
Â
I’m Rebecca Kase—a psychotherapist, speaker, author, educator, transformation coach, and entrepreneur. But at my core, I’m a survivor who discovered the power of living a neuro-informed life—and that changed everything.
You can thrive too.

WHO I WORK WITH
Your Guide to
Tranformation
You know it’s time for change, whether in your life, your work, or your relationships. But something is holding you back. It could be past trauma, or stress and overwhelm, or just the inertia of old habits or beliefs. You don’t have to stay stuck, though. If you believe deep down that there has to be something more than “just getting by”, welcome. You’re in the right place. And if you’re ready to do the work, I’m ready to share my plan with you that took me from surviving to thriving.
EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
My Story: From
Trauma to
Thriving
There’s a core belief that drives everything I do: Adversity can hold some of our greatest lessons if 
we’re willing to pay attention, get honest with 
ourselves, and dig deep.
Â
I won’t sugarcoat it—I’ve been through some heavy things. I’ve survived family mental illness, the loss of a parent to suicide, assault, and domestic violence. I know firsthand how trauma can take over your life—how PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction can feel impossible to escape.
For a long time, I struggled. I sought relief in people and substances that only deepened my pain. I felt hopeless, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle that seemed unbreakable.Â
And yet, I survived. I healed, I grew, and today, I am thriving.
Through all of that pain, I became an expert in navigating the dark, healing, and ultimately thriving. Today, I’m a psychotherapist, educator, and founder of The Trauma Therapist Institute, where I train therapists in trauma-informed care.
My work is grounded in a neuro-informed approach, blending neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality to help people regulate their nervous systems, build resilience, and create meaningful change. I share these insights through books, articles, podcasts, keynotes, conferences, retreats, and workshops—bringing deep, transformative work to life with authenticity, relatability, humor, and joy.
My Publications
I’m passionate about sharing insights that help other people thrive.
As an author, I write both for my fellow therapists and for a general audience. 
And I’m excited to have new titles on the way!
