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.
That knot in your chest before logging on? The code-switching, the mental gymnastics, the exhaustion of being "professional" you vs. real you? I get it. You won't need to explain yourself here. Your full self is welcome—all the identities, all the complexity. This is your sign it's okay to want more than surviving. Let's talk about thriving.
