I’m Raquel, psychotherapist, mom, expatriate, world-traveler and “CEO” of a cross-cultural family.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
My own cultural background and experience living abroad have given me unique perspective to better understand the challenges of bicultural individuals and families; including expats living between two countries, moms adjusting to and raising children in a new culture, women involved in multi-cultural relationships, international students, and professional women exploring their next career step.
My passion is working with women to help them recognize their personal strengths and discover life patterns that are holding them back from the future they want to create.
I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining different therapeutic tools and methods to fit your individual needs. These include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish and have an international academic background, including a M.S. Psychology from Spain, M.B.A., Human Resources from U.S.A. I have completed additional training in the treatment of anxiety and depression, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and perinatal and postpartum mental health.
