Becca Klassy
MA, CSWA
She/Her
Becca became a social worker because her own personal life journey sparked an interest in the inner workings of the minds and emotions. Her study of psychology in her undergraduate program eventually led her to pursue a master's degree in social work. As a clinician, it is a goal of Becca's to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth. Her passion for therapy continues to grow as she witnesses the resilience and growth of clients.
Before becoming a therapist, Becca worked as an equine specialist at a residential mental health program for at-risk youth that incorporated equine assisted psychotherapy, as a sales specialist at REI and as a trip leader for graduate program’s outdoor school, which eventually sparked her love for Central Oregon and dream to move to Bend.
Becca has lived in Bend since 2021 because of her love for the outdoors, the people, and the life she has created here. She enjoys spending time hiking with her dog, spending time with her friends on the river or at local restaurants, painting, and hanging out with her horse. Becca is grateful to work in a field that honors and encourages personal growth while supporting the growth of others.
