ABOUT
Hey, there…
I am Dr. Raquel Anderson
I started my career as a therapist for children and adolescents. I spent years sitting with kids who were struggling, trying to help them process what was happening in their lives. And what I kept seeing, over and over again, was that the pain those kids were carrying almost always traced back to what was happening at home. The conflict between their parents. The divorce they didn't ask for. The household they were growing up in.
That realization changed the direction of my work.
I understood that if I truly wanted to help children, I needed to focus on the parents. I needed to help families go through hard seasons with more intention and less damage. I needed to help parents see what their kids were experiencing, even when they were too overwhelmed by their own pain to notice.
I started asking: what if we could prevent some of this? What if parents had better tools before things fell apart?
I also know this from the inside. I have been through a divorce. I have been the mom packing her kids' bags for the weekend at dad's. I have sat across from a mediator. I have co-parented with someone I was not on good terms with. I know what it feels like to wonder if you have broken your children, and to desperately want to do right by them even when you are hurting too.
My education and training gave me the clinical framework. My life gave me the understanding. Together, they are what I bring to every family I work with.
