🌟 Testimonials
What our Clients say
What our Clients say
Rached is thoughtful, empathetic and incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain the biological “why” behind feelings and emotions, which has been eye opening for my healing journey and self awareness. His expertise in areas like EMDR have accelerated my progress in trauma therapy. His approach is grounded in my needs, while also being deeply informed by what works beyond talk therapy. Working with Rached has been nothing but positive, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who does more than just listen.

Patient
Rached has truly changed my life for the better. Together we did EMDR and other mixed approaches. I was in a bad place for a while and the sessions I spent with him put me on a path where I am now living a life that I dreamed of. I’ve gotten the career I wanted and travelled to places I’ve only dreamed of. Of course I was capable of doing these things on my own but with the guidance and safe space of the sessions I’ve had with Rached, I was able to grow into the person I am today. He helped me see things about myself that I never saw. He showed me how to love and appreciate the person I am. I will always have a deep appreciation and gratitude for what he has done for me. I’m sure you will too.

Working with Rached was an incredibly positive and transformative experience. His thoughtful, empathetic approach and use of evidence-based methods made it easy to reflect and grow through challenging conversations. What stood out most was how down-to-earth and approachable he was, which made it comfortable to build trust and open communication from the very beginning. I cannot recommend anyone better than him.

My partner and I have been working with Rached for over a year now. Rached takes our confusion and concerns and asks the right questions to guide us towards finding the heart of the problems we are experiencing. He expertly holds both our experiences and the truth within them and helps us come together on the things we are struggling with. While we often focus on the hard things, he also makes sure we celebrate our successes, feel the truth of the journey we are walking together, and has been instrumental in helping us find the words to ensure we are working as a team. I often say that it feels wrong to laugh as much as I cry in therapy, but I think that says it all - all emotions and experiences are welcome in Rached's counseling room.
