Raimel is very understanding and helpful. He goes through everything and tries his best to get the better picture of what is going on with my life and through my head. Not only that I can talk to him just like he is a friend of mines and tell him things about my day while also still getting things done. He is encouraging and has been helping me reach my goals.

Hello! My name is Raimel; you may call me (Ray). I am a licensed mental health counselor. I identify myself as a Hispanic that migrated to the United States at a very young age, and I have lived through the many difficulties Hispanic families face when transitioning to another country. I obtained my master's degree in Nova Southeaster University, and I have been working in the field now for five years, and I have been passionate about psychology since high school. I have worked with a diverse clientele consisting of adults, geriatric, children, adolescence, couple and families. I have experience working in facilities such as hospital, private clinics, jail and rehabilitation center. I have provided therapy to clients with diverse mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, stress, sleep issues and several others. My treatment approach consists of working together with the client to help them reach their goals by utilizing a humanistic perspective to guide, provide support and teach. I can be conducive by providing my therapeutic knowledge, skills and passion to help you overcome the distress you may be feeling, or if you simply need guidance to reach your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
