Getting to know Rafaela Calatchi
Hello! My name is Rafaela, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work collaboratively with adults 25 years and older who are motivated to find their inner voice and connect with their highest selves. My clients may also seek support in their relationships with peers and family of origin. I am here to meet you halfway.
My approach
The unconscious processes that drive us can significantly impact our daily lives. In sessions, I focus on helping you get to where you want to be. This may involve building new habits, learning skills, or modifying what you are already doing so it works better for you. I lean more heavily on thought-based, behavioral, and mindful approaches.
My focus
I work with adults 25 years and older who are focused on setting boundaries, assertive and effective communication, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. My clients are willing to reflect on sessions outside of therapy and continue doing "the work" between sessions.
My communication style
I create a safe and validating space for us to dig deep. There may be occasional cameos by my cat.
My journey to mental healthcare
Looking back, it made such a difference to have someone empathize and listen non-judgmentally. That alone can be powerful. As adults, we often have more independence and agency, which is why I believe focusing on solutions takes a more prominent role in treatment.
My goals for you
Goal setting comes from you: What do you want to get out of therapy? How will you know you feel better? When I understand your starting point and destination, we can work together to identify and focus on the most effective routes for you to get there.
My first session with you
I know it takes a lot to attend a first session. While there are necessary legal and ethical components I will cover, I am eager to hear what brought you in and how I can help.
