I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals across all stages of life, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I specialize in helping others with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem/self-confidence, imposter syndrome, career exploration, and relationship issues. Seeking help is a huge first step, and I do my absolute best to make the entire therapeutic process as smooth and easygoing as possible by embracing a positive, eclectic, and non-judgmental approach to therapy. I also understand that choosing a therapist can feel quite daunting and difficult, so I gladly provide a preliminary cost-free consultation, where we can discuss your concerns and explore our potential collaboration together. To access the free consultation, please select 'Book Session' and then select 'Free Consult' radio button. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me directly at raul@ohtlitherapy.com.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

A first therapy session is all about getting to know each other and setting the stage for future work. We start with introductions and a discussion of confidentiality and what to expect from therapy. I'll ask you about your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy. It's a time for you to share your story and for me to understand how best to support you. We'll also talk about any immediate issues you're facing and begin to outline a plan for our work together. The goal is to create a comfortable and collaborative environment where you feel heard and understood.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In my eclectic approach to therapy, I draw upon various aspects of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to create a custom therapeutic approach that appeals to you and your goals.
