Reba Machado is the founder and CEO of Raincross Family Counseling, where she has created a healing sanctuary for individuals navigating life's most challenging transitions. With particular expertise in perinatal mental health, she specializes in supporting women through the emotional complexities of motherhood, including postpartum depression, birth trauma, and the profound identity shifts that accompany this sacred journey. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, Reba brings advanced trauma treatment skills to her work, helping clients process difficult experiences and reclaim their sense of safety and wholeness.

Her therapeutic approach centers on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, which she has adapted specifically for perinatal trauma. Reba creates a therapeutic environment characterized by both clinical expertise and genuine warmth, where clients feel safe enough to explore their deepest truths without shame. She balances compassionate validation with gentle guidance, empowering clients to reconnect with their inherent strength and wisdom. For those who desire it, she offers faith-integrated care that respects the spiritual dimension of healing.

With a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and over a decade of clinical experience, Reba has dedicated her career to supporting individuals and families through life's most tender and transformative seasons. As a CAMFT Certified Clinical Supervisor, she also mentors the next generation of therapists, sharing her expertise in trauma-informed care and perinatal mental health. Her deep roots in the Riverside community inform her understanding of local needs and her commitment to accessible, quality mental healthcare.

Outside the therapy room, Reba embraces life with the same passion and authenticity she brings to her professional work. A devoted mother of three, she finds joy in supporting her children's theatrical pursuits and cheering them on at performances. Her Filipino heritage brings richness to her life through big family gatherings where cousins are like siblings. Music runs through her life as she leads worship at her church, plays piano, and finds expression through song. Whether creating memories at Disneyland with loved ones or exploring new travel destinations, Reba approaches life with a philosophy of working hard and playing even harder.
