My name is Rafiah Maxie-Cole, and I'm honored to join you on this journey towards wellness! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've dedicated my career to supporting clients through a wide range of issues, concerns, and needs. I am deeply passionate about my work and fully invested in your goals, aiming to equip you with the tools you need to achieve them. I understand that this journey can be challenging—something I know all too well from the tragic loss of my son to suicide. But I firmly believe that the destination is worth it. Together, we will navigate the path to wellness, and I look forward to meeting you soon. ❤️
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect an introduction to therapy and open discussions on what bring the client to therapy, goals and expectations of the therapist. Client will be able to have a safe space to discuss fears, emotions and supports needed.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength lies in my ability to listen attentively and provide clients with a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings. I am intuitive and respectful of each client's unique situation, holding no judgments. I firmly believe in every client's potential to make meaningful changes and sustain their growth.
