Individual, Couples and Family Therapy in Phoenix

Embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery with our individual and couples therapy services. We understand the profound impact that life experiences and relationships can have on one's well being. Whether you are navigating the intricacies of a current relationship, coping with the pain of a breakup, or seeking support for trauma processing, we're here to guide you.

We specialize in fostering emotional insight and providing a safe, nonjudgmental haven for introspection and growth. We also offer EMDR, a powerful therapeutic approach for those navigating with the aftermath of trauma.

Individual Therapy Services

Processing stressors, emotions and experiences is a critical part of the human condition. Within individual therapy, you will discover ways in which you get stuck in certain patterns, where they came from and how to break free.

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing)

This therapy is a direct pathway to your body’s own ability to heal itself from trauma, blocking beliefs and disturbing emotions. We use bi-lateral stimulation to target specific traumatic memories and events in order to reduce the negative impact these traumas continue to have on your life. I have been doing EMDR for 7 years and am currently in the certification process.

IFS ‘Parts Work’

Internal Family System is a model that views an individual in terms of “parts” and that we all have different parts of ourselves that serve particular functions in our life. Exploring these parts provides a greater sense of connection with self ultimately leading to be “self led.”

Couples Therapy Services

Even in the most loving relationships, we can sometimes get stuck in endless negative cycles with our partners and we don’t feel heard, seen or understood. I offer the following couples therapy services in 60 or 90 minute sessions:

  • Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy

  • Pre-marital/Dating

  • Sex & Intimacy Focused Therapy

  • Couples therapy for blending families/co-parenting

  • Discernment Therapy

Family Therapy Services

Sometimes the most foundational relationships in our life are the most challenging to navigate on our own. Family therapy can help systems work through challenges to achieve more harmony and balance. Raquel uses emotionally focused family therapy to restore connection within family systems. Examples of Family therapy are as follows:

  • Parent/s & children- nuclear & blended/step family

  • Parent/s & teenagers - nuclear & blended/step family

  • Adults and their parent/s

  • Adult siblings
