About
Exhausted navigating systems not built for you? I'm Raquel, trauma-focused LCSW in IL, TX, NC, and OH. Maybe you're a high-achieving professional who looks successful but drafts emails 10 times and loses sleep over work. Or you're a teen/young adult navigating identity and family expectations. Perhaps you're a 1st/1.5 gen individual caught between cultures, managing ADHD and perfectionism, or experiencing mental health challenges from GLP-1 medications. My approach blends psychodynamic insight, cognitive behavioral strategies, and real-world experience. Sessions are collaborative—focused on what matters to YOU. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in corporate recruiting, managed care at Blue Cross Blue Shield, and clinical crisis settings. I understand high-pressure environments, bureaucratic systems, and what it's like to straddle multiple identities. I've seen how systems fail people—and learned to navigate them. You deserve support that actually gets it.
