Raquel Veda(She/Her/Hers)

Many of Raquel’s clients come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure why they react the way they do. She works with teens and adults who want to better understand their emotions, process difficult experiences, and feel more grounded in everyday life. For individuals, therapy becomes a space to slow down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with a steadier sense of self and confidence.

Raquel also works closely with couples seeking to repair communication, rebuild trust, and restore emotional closeness. Her couples work often helps partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of conflict or distance and learn new ways of reaching for one another with clarity, care, and emotional safety. She provides a calm, collaborative environment where both partners can feel heard and supported as they strengthen connection.

Her approach is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and mindfulness-based practices, helping clients increase emotional awareness, reduce reactivity, and create more secure, balanced relationships—with themselves and others. Raquel’s style is steady and compassionate, guiding clients to make sense of their emotions while feeling deeply seen and understood.

Raquel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida and Oregon, a Qualified Supervisor in Florida, and has advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy. With over eight years of experience across court systems, schools, community agencies, and private practice, she brings both skill and heart to her work. She currently meets with clients online only, offering flexible weekday, evening, and limited weekend availability for residents of Florida and Oregon.
