Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW125766
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience providing mental health care. I hold a Master
of Social Work degree from San Diego State University, specializing in clinical and direct practice, along with a
BA in sociology from UC San Diego.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting people from diverse backgrounds—including those facing severe mental illness
and co-occurring disorders, surviving trauma, managing
chronic conditions, and experiencing housing instability—
in settings ranging from inpatient care and community outreach, to hospitals and home visits.
Inspired by the breakthrough moments I witness my clients experience in our sessions every day, I am thrilled to have established the private practice, Breakthrough Counseling!

My professional background
Rebecca Paushter
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW125766
I chose the name Breakthrough Counseling because I’m continually inspired by the profound transformations I witness as my clients reconnect with their authentic selves, rediscover their worth, step into their power, and find a renewed sense of direction.
Healing happens in breakthrough moments—when clarity comes into focus, inner strength rises, and meaning is made. This practice was created to help you reach
those turning points and break through whatever has been holding you back.
Breakthroughs look different for everyone—but they’re always real,
always possible, and they open doors to lasting change.
At Breakthrough Counseling, I’m here to support you in uncovering yours.
Together we can break through
