Rabaya is wise beyond her years. I value her opinion and her guided conversation and sessions are invaluable. I almost always leave a session pondering something unveiled during our time together that germinates until the next week when it can be re-examined. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to suggest she would be of help to virtually anyone.

Rabaya has been instrumental in helping me manage my panic disorder over the last few months. She has helped me identify triggers and has also helped me develop coping mechanisms that have made managing this type of anxiety possible. I have been able to return to a sense of normalcy in my life and now have significantly fewer panic attacks than I was experiencing prior to starting therapy - if they do occur, I am able to handle them much better and now very rarely require medication to get through them. Thank you, Rabaya!

I really enjoyed my time and I felt that I learned a lot about myself. I grew as a person and I developed a lot of coping strategies for the drama that life threw at me. Unfortunately the time came to an end because of a licensing problem but I would recommend her to anyone
