Getting to know Rasha Portis

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting my clients through some of life’s most challenging seasons. I specialize in helping clients navigate a wide range of mental health concerns and life transitions with empathy, expertise, and care. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and supportive space where healing, resilience, and personal growth can flourish. I work with each client to strengthen emotional wellness, facilitate meaningful change, and develop practical skills to lead a more balanced life. In our work together, you can expect to build healthier coping strategies, improve your relationships, practice sustainable self-care, set healthy boundaries, and achieve your personal goals, improving your overall well-being. My approach My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that healing begins with trust, connection, and honoring each client’s unique journey. I practice from a client-centered perspective, meaning your voice, values, and lived experiences guide our work. Rooted in cultural humility, my approach respects and celebrates the unique identities, histories, and strengths you bring to our work. Alongside evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, I incorporate transdiagnostic models. These address core processes, like cognitive biases, emotional regulation challenges, and relational patterns, that often underlie mental health concerns across diagnoses. By focusing on these patterns, we move beyond labels and toward meaningful change. I also use trauma-informed approaches, recognizing trauma’s widespread impact on emotional and physical well-being. I emphasize safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment, and draw from CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to support healing.
