Getting to know Raizel Lax

Hello! My name is Raizel Lax, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. My goal is to help you find healing through the therapeutic relationship we create together. You will be provided with a private, safe space to clarify confusion, find meaning, and develop the tools and skills needed to optimize both interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges. Some of my clinical specialties include anxiety, depression, chronic illness, grief, and adjustment disorders. My approach Several evidence-based therapeutic modalities I utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. My focus I work with clients aged 18 and older. I am comfortable working with all sexual orientations, cultures, and backgrounds. I am most experienced in helping individuals with mild to moderate depression, mild to moderate anxiety, loss, life transitions, and relationship issues. My communication style My overall presence is gentle and calm, and I have a soft-spoken tone of voice. I aim to be a great listener and a thoughtful responder. It is of the utmost importance that the environment I provide feels nurturing and safe for my clients. I encourage my clients to express any needs or wishes they might have, and I do my best to accommodate them. My journey to mental healthcare The study of psychology and mental health is a passion of mine. I am a growth-oriented person by nature and continuously inspired by the human experience—our capacity to overcome adversity and create positive change in our lives. My goals for you My therapy sessions are both client-led and collaborative. I like to help my clients clearly define their presenting problems before prioritizing goals. Goals are often linked to making small changes in thoughts and behaviors that, over time, lead to lasting, positive change.
