Raquel Santana

Life can be overwhelming, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm an LCSW with 11 years in social work creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without

judgment, and feel genuinely heard. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, substance use, and domestic violence recovery. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I tailor

every session to your strengths, history, and goals. Whether you're healing from the past or navigating a hard transition, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of evidence-based interventions to create a treatment plan that best fits your goals and individual circumstances. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), strengths-based interventions, mindfulness, and other trauma-informed approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I adapt my approach to meet you where you are and support the changes you want to make.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, your current concerns, your history, and the goals you'd like to work toward. I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, and together we'll create a plan that fits your

unique needs. Most people leave that first session feeling heard, less alone, and ready to take the next step.
