My practice over the past 30 years as an LCMHC has allowed me to help people of diverse backgrounds overcome a variety of life's challenges. I help people by meeting with them, learning about their problems and discovering ways for them to feel more at ease. The most common issues that I help people with involve their moods (for example sadness, worrying, anger or stress) and with their relationships. All types of people come to see me; people just like you who have hit a bump in the road and want to help themselves feel better again. I've focused on adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, controlling anger, family conflict, substance abuse, and behavioral issues. If you're looking for someone to help, I'd welcome your call!

Hi there, I’m Raquel. Do you get overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-worth? Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you will never be good enough? Are you struggling to find satisfaction in your life? I help women in all stages of life to discover their strengths and resources to become the version of themselves that they want to be. Together we will identify maladaptive thoughts and habits that create barriers to meeting outcomes and replace these with more balanced thinking and behaviors. I use a mix of Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused modalities to get to the root of core beliefs that get individuals stuck in daily living, while also engaging in resource talk that instills hope for a preferred future. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or just the difficult changes that come with life, I’m here to help you. Therapy can be a process that feels uncomfortable but it can also be so rewarding and life-changing. The decision to seek help is a difficult one but be assured that it is the right one. I will provide a listening ear and an open heart as we dive in together to help foster healing and growth at a pace that feels comfortable to you. Let’s work together so that you can begin living life to the fullest.

Hi, I'm Donavon. I am a counselor with almost 20 years of experience. Some words that folks have used to describe me are encouraging, supportive, compassionate, and understanding. One of the things I feel I am especially good at is helping people find the connections to the origins of their problems. Do I spend days or weeks having you relive the past? No. But, being able to understand how your problems or negative coping strategies of today developed, is an important step in doing things better in the present.

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

I work on helping my clients develop coping skills, think positively, change negative cognitions into more positive ways of thinking and bolstering self-esteem. I want to help a glass half-empty thinker to see that glass as half-full, or as full as we can make it.
