My name is Rachel. I have been serving the LORD for 30 years now and I love to help people walk their journey well. I will say, “I have been there and done that!” This rollercoaster of life poses many challenges, but I have learned that you can have peace in the process. That is what I offer through my counseling services. I am ordained as a minister and am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York since 2006, although I currently live in Florida. I provide Telehealth sessions.

Hi, I’m Susana Santiago Raza. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience in behavioral science and medicine, my mission is to help individuals experience true healing, freedom, and personal growth. I specialize in trauma-informed care, supporting adults navigating Acquired and Traumatic Brain Injuries, PTSD, anxiety, depression, moral injury, grief, and physical adjustment disorders. Much of my career has been dedicated to serving Veterans and their families as they navigate the complex rehabilitation phases following physical or psychological trauma. I utilize an integrative, evidence-based approach. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Having spent significant time working in a physical rehabilitation clinic, I have extensive experience in adapting therapeutic techniques to meet the unique physical, psychological, and cognitive limitations of each client. For those who desire it, I also integrate biblical truths into our work. With dual degrees in Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapy, I view each person through the lens of their environment, experiences, stressors, and relational dynamics. I am a lifelong learner, deeply curious about your specific story and how it shapes your well-being. My practice is built on collaboration. While I provide a safe, compassionate space to share your struggles, I am also an active partner in your transformation. I encourage clients to confront the barriers holding them back from their authentic selves. If you are ready for growth and are seeking a purposeful path toward thriving, I would be honored to work with you. My ultimate goal is to equip you with the tools you need to reach a place where you no longer need my support.

Great to meet you! I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — we take it from there together. My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different. My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room. I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change. When you work with me, you get someone who shows up fully — present, steady, honest, and genuinely invested in your well‐being. I’m not here to give you quick fixes or surface‐level advice. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been ignored or pushed aside, and build a life that feels more grounded and true to who you are. My style is warm, direct, and deeply human. I listen for the things underneath your words — the patterns, the pain points, the strengths you might not yet see. I’ll challenge you gently, support you consistently, and help you make sense of what’s been getting in the way.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Florida. I have 30 years experience in the helping profession and 7 years as a therapist. I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration. It is valuable to talk about problems and issues but without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

Ray Grizzel taught college psychology courses for 31 years, including creating and teaching ones on The Art and Science of Relationships, Parenting, Death, and Change, Challenge, and Resilience. Using the information and experiences of helping people in a group setting during that time period, he is aware of the personal and significant issues that trouble and challenge people. In private practice, Ray has worked with children, teens, and adults using an eclectic therapeutic approach. Ray builds on a person’s strengths to create with them the resources and ability to fully live their lives. A trauma-based approach is most certainly an aspect of the therapeutic interactions.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.
