MS, Psychology Predoctoral Intern

Are you looking for a therapist to help you make the changes you want to see in yourself and in your life?

If you are that person who longs for change, an adult carrying the weight of past trauma, addiction, or persistent anxiety and depression, or you are a child who struggles to focus in class, acts on impulse, or needs to navigate the complex world of emotions, I can help. My ideal client is not defined by their challenges, but by their desire to grow, to heal, and to become the best version of themselves. Whether it’s a young person working through the realities of ADHD, autism, or academic and behavioral hurdles, or an adult searching for peace after years of emotional pain, the goal is the same: to find stability, self-worth, and lasting fulfillment.

In my practice, I do my best to bring warmth, structure, and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in working with children with neurodevelopmental and behavioral concerns, as well as adults facing the aftershocks of trauma, addiction, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I use evidence-based practices tailored to individual needs, whether that’s through skill-building, trauma-informed approaches, or creating a safe space to untangle painful memories and limiting beliefs. My background allows me to meet clients where they are and walk beside them with genuine understanding and support.

I am a psychology pre-doctoral intern at Soul Work Counseling from Walden University. In addition to psychotherapy, I also provide psychological testing and evaluations for people age 8+ (ADHD and general psychological assessments), in addition to Autism evaluations for adults and Pre-Bariatric Surgery Psychological Evaluations for adults.

If you or your child is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to take the next step toward healing and self-discovery, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore what’s been holding you back and build a path toward the life you envision, one with more clarity, resilience, and connection. You’re not alone, and change is possible.

Best, 

Stephanie-Raquel
