I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey. I obtained my license in 2014 and have been working mostly with youth conducting mental health evaluations. I started my career in 2004 working in a day program with adults with chronic mental illness. From there I changed jobs in 2006 to work with at risk youths involved in the juvenile court system. Once I obtained my LPC license I began working with youths involved with fire setting behaviors. Overall I have mostly worked with clients struggling with trauma related issues, lifestyle changes, relationship issues, and career changes, and diagnosis including depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, and conduct disorders.
For some, taking the first step to start counseling can be difficult for a variety of reasons. I look forward to working with you on the areas of your life and mental health that you wish to improve on and at the pace that is comfortable for you.

An amazing therapist! She played a pivotal role in helping me get my life back on track when I completely lost myself temporarily.

Raquel has been instrumental in helping me with various areas in my life. When speaking to her, it’s clear that she genuinely cares and doesn’t view this as just a job…sometimes you come across people who you can tell are meant to do something, and she fits this mold. I would say congrats to anyone who matches with her, as you’ve definitely found the best of the best.

Raquel made me feel comfortable and helped me through one of the most transitional periods in my life. She is such a supportive and caring person and it really felt like she was a friend rather than a therapist. Her advice and techniques she shared were a game changer and I will forever be grateful. Thank you Raquel!
