For Rebecca. For the work. For us.
We know things
we can never tell anyone.
Stories that would silence a room.
Pain spoken once,
then sealed inside us forever
by ethics, by duty, by care.
We sit across from the darkest moments
of a human life
and say, I’m here.
We pull people back from edges
no one else can see.
We talk someone through the night
they didn’t think they’d survive.
We hold hands—sometimes literally,
sometimes with nothing but our voice—
while a life is stitched back together.
And when the door closes,
we don’t get applause.
We don’t get witnesses.
We go home and make dinner.
We tuck our kids in.
We carry it quietly.
Rebecca did that.
She showed up.
She did the work that saves lives
in ways the world never sees.
And she was murdered
for choosing a profession rooted in care.
Say that out loud.
Let it land.
This was not abstract.
This was not a headline.
This was a therapist
doing what therapists do—
showing up, believing in people,
creating safety—
and losing her life.
No one trains for that.
No one expects that.
The team at BeHealthy Counseling mourns the loss of Rebecca White.
We honor her work, her presence,
and the quiet strength it takes
to do this job well.
She mattered.
Her work mattered.
And we hold her in deep respect.
Mental Health professionals want to remind everyone, while this story is startling, take time to grieve and go easy on yourself as you heal.
