Raquel Willerman, PhD, LCSW, CGP, is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist who is profoundly moved by the courage individuals bring to the therapeutic journey. She strives to honor each person's commitment by fostering a safe and supportive environment that allows for symptom alleviation and movement towards personal goals. Raquel works with adults and elders, addressing a variety of concerns including obesity, sexual abuse, trauma, PTSD, chronic sadness, anxiety, relationship conflicts, loss, life transitions, and feelings of disconnection from one's true self or purpose. Her therapeutic approach, which integrates somatic, trauma-focused, hypnotherapy, psychodynamic, and relational modalities, provides a comprehensive experience designed to expand self-awareness, deepen relationships, and ease life's transitions. Raquel's practice is grounded in contemporary psychodynamic theory and liberation psychology, utilizing techniques that honor the interconnectedness between mind and body. With a background in linguistics, she excels at helping individuals make sense of their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and experiences. Additionally, Raquel is actively engaged in her community and serves on the boards of local psychotherapy organizations, continually training to address social oppression and enhance her therapeutic skills.
