Hi! I'm Raquel from Lotus Rock Counseling, LLC and I would be honored to work with you! Life can be incredibly unfair and challenging at times which can leave us struggling emotionally, mentally, and beyond. My clients can expect to work with someone who is caring and committed to supporting them on their journey to living their best lives. Utilizing approaches that are proven to be effective, I work together with clients to build on the strengths they already possess. Clients can learn a variety of coping skills to best address their needs.

Are you a young adult feeling detached or overwhelmed? Perhaps you're struggling to discover your true identity amidst life's challenges and expectations. You might be dealing with the effects of trauma, loss, a toxic cycle, or major life changes. Though you appear fine to others, you may feel like you're falling apart inside, unsure where to even begin. Maybe you're experiencing a mix of emotions like sadness, frustration, stress, insecurity, and lack of motivation. Whatever it is, know you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to provide a warm safespace to work together to start your journey of exploration, healing, and growth.

I pursue my work with motivated adults and couples who are open to introspection and seek to understand the complexity of their problems. I see a diverse range of clients and issues and specialize in treating those who struggle with anxiety and social disorders, depression, relationship issues, and career difficulties. Clients who thrive in my approach are curious about themselves, the world, and human nature.

Do you yearn to be in a fulfilling relationship, where you feel alive, desired, and connected to your partner? It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that your relationship problems are "just a cycle" or that "all marriages go through this”. You may find yourself feeling sad and hopeless about your marriage being stuck in a rut for too long, but you can turn this around. You can transform your intimate relationship into a vibrant and sexy connection with your partner. With me, you’ll learn how to explore, experiment, and express your intimate desires, plus gain access to effective communication tools to take home.

We are a Practice of 6 highly talented Psychotherapists. We believe in real, practical Transformative Psychotherapy focusing on more than just symptoms, helping each client live his/her happiest life through Positive Psychology. We use Mindfulness Techniques to help understand your thoughts and feelings and how these manifest in your body: yesterday, today and projecting into the future. Our team has deep training and experience in a wide range of specialties: Trauma and PTSD, Eating Disorders, Panic Attacks, Sex Therapy, Bio Feedback, Chronic Pain, IVF/Surrogacy, Spirituality, LGBTQA, Death/Dying/Hospice, and Business Coaching. We work with Children, Couples, Individuals and Families.

I work with clients who have histories of trauma varying in severity. This can look like trouble with regulating and making sense of emotions. In terms of diagnoses, I often work with clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, manic episodes, and dissociation. My clients want to regain their sense of agency. My clients become more aware of the connection between current behavioral tendencies and pivotal events from their past. My clients become comfortable feeling uncomfortable exploring issues and experiencing the emotions that arise. My ideal clients understand that progress is dependent on dedication and consistency. Very possible.

I believe that everyone needs an empathetic ear and a safe space to openly share their story, thoughts, and feelings in order to heal and grow. I have a deep passion for helping others on their journey of healing, growth, awareness, and self-discovery. I provide individual counseling for teenagers and adults 17+. I have been working with a diverse population helping clients deal with issues such as: depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, stress, suicidal thoughts, major life transitions, relationship concerns, and clients struggling with low self-esteem, and body image issues.

Empowerment, empathy, compassion, & trust are the cornerstones upon which I build a safe healing space to overcome obstacles. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) & Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to assist clients with life's navigation by making healthier emotional choices & achieving unconditional acceptance. I have completed Level 1 & 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and when working with couples I channel my skills towards building a strong base to increase relationship intimacy through healthy communication, conflict resolution, & making life dreams come true.

Are you someone who has recently discovered you're on the Autism Spectrum later in life? Perhaps you've always felt a bit different but didn't have a name for it until now? You're not alone, & this journey of self-discovery can be both enlightening and challenging. I embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach, recognizing & celebrating the diverse ways our brains work. If you’re a neurotypical parent struggling to accept your child’s diagnosis, stressed by IEP meetings, coping w/ seeing your child treated unfairly, or looking for insight into your child’s sensory challenges, I’m here for you too. (Note: I do not work with minors.)
