Message to clients:

Hello! My name is Raquel Garmony and I work with individuals who are navigating symptoms of anxiety and depression, ADHD, and provide support in anger management. When working with these individuals, I make sure to use an empathetic approach, trauma-informed lens, and active listening skills when we’re in session. I have experience working with teens, adults, and older adults. 

My therapeutic approach is primarily using creative techniques stemming from expressive arts to support growth, individuality, and identity. This includes using art, dance/movement, music, and drama directives to navigate life experiences and relationships, as well as process grief, anger, anxiety, and depression.

In session, we will also use other interventions such as trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and humanistic approaches to navigate and process difficult emotions. You will be encouraged to be open, curious and exploratory in a safe and non-judgmental environment!

I will have an holistic approach to your challenges and work with you to make healthy choices. Together, we will work on achieving your personal goals, strengthening your self-identity, and navigating life transitions. My goal is to help you develop confidence and problem-solving skills, strengthen autonomy, and utilize tools to help you manage everyday life.

As a therapist, I’m always inspired by the stories of others, exploring and trying new skills, and practicing the ones that work with you. My interests often include the creative arts, but also connecting with nature, reading, watching shows and spending time with my cat! As we partner together to achieve your goals and tackle challenges, I aim to help you become your most true, authentic, and healthiest version of yourself.
