The Benefits of Therapy

Individual therapy is a space that is just for you. It allows you to slow down and connect with your concerns with someone who has compassion and can help you create the same. It is a space to learn new ways of being with yourself and ways to be with others. It is a space to validate you and your unique struggles as a human.

What to expect from your session

We will meet for an assessment to establish your presenting concerns and how I can help. It is beneficial to meet weekly but frequency can vary depending on your needs. Therapy can be short term or long term depending on your specific goals and the level of support that is needed.

  • "Raquel is a total professional! She used her skills to help me understand myself, identify and address the fundamental underlying thoughts and feelings that were causing me problems. I developed a deep respect for her steady way of walking me through a process I was totally unfamiliar with, and that my ego was fairly uncomfortable with. She also didn’t seem interested in wasting any time or prolonging the process of reaching my goals; we moved at my pace. She is also incredibly compassionate, empathetic and encouraging."
