Services & Specialties
Every person's path is unique. Raquel offers compassionate, evidence-based counseling tailored to your individual needs and goals throughout Florida via telehealth.
Anxiety
Managing anxiety takes more than willpower. Together, we will explore patterns, triggers, and develop personalized strategies to help you move through life with greater calm and confidence.
Depression
Depression can make everyday life feel heavy and isolating. Therapy provides a supportive space to process, heal, and gradually rebuild a sense of hope, energy, and connection.
Adjustment Disorders
Major life changes — expected or unexpected — can be difficult to navigate. We will work through the emotional challenges of transition together, building stability and resilience.
Parenting Support
Parenting is one of the most rewarding and challenging roles. Sessions focus on strengthening your relationship with your children and yourself, building connection and healthy communication.
Relationship Support
Whether navigating communication challenges, intimacy issues, or major decisions, we explore tools that help relationships grow stronger, more communicative, and deeply connected.
Addiction & Recovery
Recovery is a journey that deserves compassionate support. We will work through underlying patterns and build resilience for sustainable healing — with zero judgment and complete support.
Stress Management
Chronic stress takes a toll on your mind and body. Together, we will identify stressors, reframe thought patterns, and develop grounded coping strategies to restore balance and energy.
Life Transitions
From career changes and moves to loss and identity shifts — life's transitions invite growth. Therapy offers a grounded space to navigate change with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
Trauma
A compassionate, non-judgmental space to process past experiences, reduce their impact on your daily life, and build the resilience to move forward with greater freedom and peace.
Co-occurring Disorders
Integrated, whole-person support for individuals navigating both mental health and substance use challenges at the same time — treating the full picture, not just the symptoms.
Inner Child Work
Reconnect with and heal the younger parts of yourself — addressing early wounds and unmet needs that quietly shape your patterns, relationships, and emotional responses today.
Grief & Loss
Gentle, steady support through loss of any kind — whether a person, relationship, identity, or chapter of life. You deserve space to grieve fully and find your way forward.
Codependency
Explore patterns of over-reliance, people-pleasing, and difficulty with boundaries — building a healthier, more grounded sense of self and creating more balanced, fulfilling relationships.
Motherhood & Stepmotherhood
Being a mother or stepmother is one of the most complex emotional experiences there is — full of love and, often, exhaustion, identity questions, and guilt. There's room here to feel all of it without judgment, and to reconnect with yourself in the process.
Identity Loss
Somewhere between all the roles you play — parent, partner, caretaker, professional — you may have lost track of who you actually are. Therapy helps you reconnect with yourself and figure out who you want to be now.
Coming home doesn't always mean leaving it behind.

Nature-Based
Experiential Therapy
Experiential Therapy Incorporating Equine Interactions
Experiential, nature-based psychotherapy integrating mindfulness and ground-based equine interactions.
I offer experiential psychotherapy sessions that may incorporate ground-based interactions with horses in a calm, supportive outdoor environment. These sessions are designed to support emotional awareness, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, relational insight, confidence-building, boundary work, and deeper connection to self and others.
Equine-integrated sessions are facilitated from the ground and do not involve riding. Horses can provide unique opportunities for experiential learning, emotional reflection, grounding, and present-moment awareness as part of the therapeutic process.
This approach may be beneficial for individuals navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, grief and loss, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and recovery-related challenges.
As both a licensed mental health therapist and lifelong equestrian with over 25 years of experience working with horses, I bring together clinical knowledge, experiential approaches, and a deep respect for the relational and regulating impact horses can provide within the therapeutic environment.
Sessions are tailored to each client's therapeutic goals and comfort level, integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with experiential and nature-based interventions in a safe and supportive setting.
The Approach Behind Each Session
Raquel draws from a broad range of evidence-based modalities — including CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Gottman Method (Levels 1 & 2), Trauma Therapy, Art Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, and more — tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.
Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply seeking a supportive space for personal growth, every session is shaped around you.
Not Sure Where to Start?
That is completely okay. A consultation is a low-pressure conversation — just a chance to connect and see if it feels right.
