Meet Dr. Rebecca Youssef
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Serving residents of Oregon online
Hi there!
I’m Dr. Youssef.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of Valued Living Counseling Services, LLC based in Oregon.
My passion is helping others live a life that is meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and fulfilling. I work with clients whose sense of self feels unsettled, whether due to chronic stress, burnout in healthcare or corporate roles, or major life transitions involving big changes, grief, or loss. Together we explore core concerns and clarify the areas they’d like to improve. Then we create a personalized plan that moves them toward a clearer, more grounded, values‑aligned identity.
Whether you’re looking for help with stress management, navigating work-life balance, cultivating a sense of well-being, or you want to feel more connected to yourself and present in your life, we’ll work together to empower you to live a valued life of your own.
If you’re interested in additional nerdy information about me…
I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern University (Chicago suburbs), and a BA in psychology from Loyola University Chicago.

Fun Facts
I grew up in a suburb right on the outskirts of Chicago, IL. I moved to Seattle, WA for my graduate school internship at HealthPoint and then to Portland, OR for my post-doctoral residency at Providence St. Joseph Health where I remained for several years before transitioning to private practice.
I am a classically trained musician; I’ve played the flute since I was 8!
Watching stand-up comedy is my jam and one of my absolute favorite ways to unwind.
