Today, our mental health community grieves the tragic loss of Rebecca White, LMHC, who was killed Monday while serving her clients in Orlando.
Rebecca was doing what we all do every day - showing up to help those in pain, offering hope in dark moments, and creating space for healing. She was 44 years old. She was a licensed professional. She was one of us.
We didn’t know Rebecca personally, but we know her work. We know the courage it takes to sit across from suffering. We know the heart it requires to stay present with people in crisis. We know the calling that drives us to this sacred work, even when it comes with risks we don’t always talk about.
Our hearts break for Rebecca’s family, her colleagues, her clients who trusted her, and the brave client who tried to intervene and was also injured. We’re holding all of them in our prayers today.
To our fellow therapists: Please take a moment today to pause. To breathe. To acknowledge that what we do matters - and that sometimes, it costs more than it should.
Rebecca White’s life mattered. Her work mattered. Today, we honor her.
Rest in peace, Rebecca. 🕊️
Thank you life counseling solutions for the words at a time when words are hard to find.
