Raquel Lumia

As a therapist, my approach to psychotherapy is rooted in an open-minded, compassionate, and knowledgeable framework designed to support and empower my patients. By embodying these principles, I aim to provide a therapeutic experience that is compassionate, respectful, and effective, ultimately guiding my patients toward personal growth and healing.

I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming space where patients feel heard without fear of judgment. Every individual's experience and perspectivity is respected fully. I acknowledge and respect the diverse cultural backgrounds and life experiences of my patients. I continually educate myself on different cultural practices and values to provide culturally competent care. I practice active empathy, seeking to understand my patients' emotions and experiences from their point of view.

I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques and stay updated with the latest research in psychotherapy. I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. This personalized approach enhances the relevance and efficacy of therapy. I conduct thorough assessments to understand the multifaceted nature of my patients' concerns, including their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive dimensions.
