About me

I'm a happily married father of 3 children ages 15, 13, 12. I became a psychotherapist to help people attain a better, more peaceful and rewarding quality of life.

I've been in private practice for over 10 years. Giving my clients the tools to help them through their different challenges is extremely rewarding. I've worked with a wide variety of issues from everyday stress issues, growing self-confidence and self-esteem, developing strong coping skills to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, among others.

Something I hear from clients on a regular basis is my ability to accelerate change in a non-threatening and safe manner. My sessions are usually high-energy, centering and enjoyable. I look forward to hearing from potential clients to see if we're a good fit to work together.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rafael Parra. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

He has been incredibly honest, and open enough about his own experiences as well which make me feel more comfortable chatting about my own.

I have attempted therapy numerous times as an adult; my chief complaint has always been that I did not feel as though the therapist really understood me on a personal level.

This is NOT the case with Rafael, from our initial contact there was a personal connection. A GENUINE personal connection, not just clinical politeness or a professional understanding. Rafael provides honest to goodness, empathetic and often emotional responses that are from the heart. I feel inspired by Rafael's delightful manner, and ability to reach back with advice, instructions that are truly personalized.

I feel as though for the first time that I am going truly going to gain the tools I need achieve my therapy goals. I know the work will not be easy, and that is okay for I have a true champion on my side!

Rafael is great. We talk and work well together...I wasn't sure I would like a male to discuss these things with, but his perspective is very enlightening. I am grateful for his input and looking forward to him helping me resolve some issues...Janet
