Hello,
My name is Raquel Lumia and I have been practicing therapy full time since 2012. Prior to that I worked in the child welfare system for 13 years. I believe that I am best suited to work with clients suffering with psychosis, personality disorders, addiction, and trauma. I believe in having a truly non-judgmental approach in therapy. Everyone deserves a chance to improve their circumstances no matter what they have done in the past. I am very straightforward and believe in honestly addressing my clients needs. I hold certifications in DBT, Trauma Informed CBT, Trauma Certified to deal with Sexual Exploitation and EMDR

Raquel has helped me immensely after coming out of a toxic relationship. She has been helping me to build my self esteem and self worth and I love her direct way of speaking. I have only been seeing her for a short amount of time, and I already feel so much better in myself. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
