Welcome!

I’m Racquel, an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor with a passion for helping women and individuals overcome life’s challenges and thrive emotionally and mentally. I specialize in fostering resilience and emotional well-being through a compassionate, client-centered approach.

My Counseling Approach

I use a combination of Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows me to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. I believe in meeting clients where they are and helping them develop practical tools to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and navigate life’s challenges. My approach is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals.

For those who desire a faith-centered approach to their healing journey, I also incorporate spiritual practices to support their growth.

Areas of Expertise

I work with individuals, couples, families  and groups, focusing on:

• Addiction Recovery: I help clients reclaim their lives and maintain sobriety through evidence-based techniques and ongoing support.

• Women’s Issues: Whether it’s navigating life transitions, managing stress, or overcoming self-doubt, I offer a safe space for women to explore and grow.

• Anxiety & Stress Management: I provide tools and strategies to help clients manage anxiety, cope with daily stress, and find balance in their lives.

• Depression: I support clients in understanding and managing depression, helping them build coping skills and regain a sense of purpose and joy.

• Eating Disorders: I work with individuals struggling with disordered eating to help them build healthier relationships with food, body image, and self-esteem.

• Personal Growth: My approach emphasizes personal empowerment, helping clients build resilience and achieve their personal and professional goals.

My Story

With over 16 years of personal recovery, my journey has been deeply influenced by faith, resilience, and the power of healing. These experiences, along with my professional expertise, have shaped my approach to counseling. I became a Counselor to help others break free from what holds them back and to guide them toward personal growth and emotional well-being. My belief in the transformative power of faith and inner strength drives my work with clients, helping them reconnect with their true selves and flourish in their lives.

About Me

Born and raised in Modesto, I am a wife and proud mother of four. After spending time as a stay-at-home mom with my kids, I’ve returned to practicing counseling with renewed passion and purpose. Outside of my work, I love having kitchen dance parties with my kids, outings with my hubby, traveling, coffee dates with friends, serving in ministry and cherishing moments of connection and joy in everyday life.
