I believe prioritizing mental health is key to living a well-balanced, fulfilling, and stable life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, so congratulations on taking that step for yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct, blending traditional talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based approaches to help clients feel more grounded, connected, and confident. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen and understood while also helping them build practical tools for healing, emotional resilience, and lasting growth.

Anne Rafal

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Having over 30 years of experience and a doctorate in social work, I've enjoyed helping clients work through life's hardest passages- grief, identity, relationships, and carrying heavy burdens. I work with adults and seniors, individuals and couple, and bring a warm, direct, solution-oriented style that clients describe as grounding and refreshingly practical. We develop a rhythm quickly and I invest in understanding both where you have been and where you want to go. Homework often helps progress develop quickly.

Amando Esguerra

Amando Esguerra

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


My name is A.J. Esguerra. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the mental health field since 2001. I have split my time primarily between working in residential treatment with abused and neglected children, and most recently in a private therapeutic day school for children and adolescents with special needs (which remains my full-time job). However, after COVID, I felt it was part of my purpose and mission to begin providing online therapy part time. My belief is that the world needs connection more than ever, and there are few things more protective or more resilient than a positive relationship with another person
