At WEL we have the most incredible group facilitators for the Extra Toughs program, who are dedicated beyond their professional experience. We are excited to highlight our facilitators each week!

Becca Love LPC, CST is a counselor in private practice with a specialty in working with women and couples around sexuality. She was called to working with Extra Toughs after many family members were touched by cancer, and especially being her Mom’s caregiver during treatment for lymphoma. She recognizes the importance of shared connection and support during/after cancer, the vulnerabilities it can bring up, and the importance of honoring both the mind and body in the healing process.

When she’s not running Support Group or working with clients, she is hanging with her daughters and husband, exploring, boating, hiking and leaning in to all this beautiful state has to offer!

The women in the Extra Toughs program are so blessed to have guidance from Becca in their weekly support group sessions 🩵

Thanks, Becca!
