Jia Rebecca Li, LMFT, MA, JD, feels honored for the opportunity to support the important causes for which SCV-CAMFT stands and advocates, and to be more involved with the Bay Area therapist community. She believes that the professional resources and networking opportunities made available by the SCV Chapter are invaluable and would love to help more local therapists benefit from them. In her private practice, Rebecca specializes in grief work (having trained at Kara), couples therapy (Gottman level-II, Couples Institute), and culturally informed psychotherapy with Asian clients. Her clinical work is also informed by her significant prior experiences working in the competitive settings of large law firms, an international investment bank, and multiple startups in the U.S. and Asia, which have helped her appreciate the demand and complexity of the work/life dynamics facing her clients. Additionally, as a bilingual therapist (English and Mandarin), she hopes to find more ways to support minority therapists and generally enhance cultural competence in our work. Rebecca holds degrees in psychology (B.S., Beijing University, China; M.A., The University of Chicago), counseling (M.A., Palo Alto University) and law (J.D., The University of Chicago Law School). She enjoys reading, morning walks, contemplative and mindfulness practices, and volunteering in the community.
