Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Irena Raagas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with diverse populations and have treated those with trauma, depression, anxiety, and those in crisis intervention.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe the best approach to therapy is to meet you where you are at in your journey to recovery. You will be in a warm and validating space and free to express yourself with no judgement. We will work together to help achieve workable goals at a pace that is comfortable for you.

What you can expect from our first session

I want you to feel that you are being heard. Maybe you are feeling depressed and isolated, unhappy with your job or increasingly anxious and not sure why. Perhaps you are in your older years and not feeling as useful and that is causing you to isolate. I believe that being open during sessions is the best way for me to help you. I'm there to listen and help you put the pieces of the puzzle together and create a trusting, respectful environment. I look forward to working with you!
