Hi Im Dr. Raphael. I work best with individuals navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, identity development, and major life transitions. My clients are often thoughtful, motivated, and seeking deeper self-awareness and growth. I support those struggling with communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, and self-worth, helping them build clarity, confidence, and healthier patterns to foster more fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self overall.

I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a Doctorate-level LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within my practice, and I find it to be an invaluable tool in helping clients achieve greater emotional regulation, self-awareness, and positive behavioral change. In my practice, I integrate CBT techniques with mindfulness-based interventions to create a more holistic and effective therapeutic approach. While CBT helps clients identify and reframe distorted or harmful thought patterns, mindfulness allows them to cultivate greater awareness of their present moment experiences, including their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, without judgment. Together, these approaches foster a deeper understanding of how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, and how mindfulness can be used to interrupt automatic patterns that may lead to emotional distress or unhealthy coping strategies.

Met with Dr. Raphael today for our first session and I'm excited to continue working with her. I'd felt comfortable opening up about my past and my current obstacles and we were able to look at ways of reframing how this could be impacting me. She was direct and honest with feedback and I could track what lead to her suggestions and look deeper into why she'd said what she'd said. Great choice for any other men looking to take the next step, honing their self-improvement and self-development

She seems very open hearted non-judgmental, great listener, not invasive. Polite, smart just overall a beautiful human being. It is refreshing to see that they are therapist out there that can fulfill the image of advice and therapy that you need. She looks like the kind of person that will help me in the future and will be my therapist for the rest of my life

Only had one session but like how she is direct and challenging. Acknowledges that it will take effort and time to see and make the change.
