Racquel Ward
My approach is collaborative, warm, integrative and client-centered. I use an integrative blend of evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s unique needs to support their overall well-being. My goal is to educate and empower individuals to apply the skills and tools learned in therapy to real-life situations. I specialize in supporting teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, school-related concerns, behavioral challenges and difficulties with life transitions.
First session
The first therapy session is about beginning our working relationship and helping you get a sense of how comfortable you feel working with me. I will ask questions to understand the concerns that brought you to therapy, explain how therapy works, and work with you to create treatment goals.
Strengths
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is my focus on active listening, collaboration, meeting clients where they are, and ability to use integrative approaches tailored to what works best for each client.
Ideal clients
I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, and the effects of past or recent traumatic experiences. My ideal clients may feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, unsure how to express what they are going through, or stuck in patterns that make it difficult to move forward. They may struggle with emotion regulation, finding it hard to manage reactions in the moment, or experience challenges with impulse control that impact relationships, decision-making, or daily functioning.
