About

Rafaela DeSoto-Ray is a Texas-licensed counselor (TX Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC 18263) with 25 years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and coping with life changes, and she is knowledgeable about developmental and behavioral disorders as well as issues associated with head trauma, dementia, and other neurological conditions.

Rafaela takes an eclectic approach to therapy, tailoring methods to fit each individual rather than relying on a single model. Her goal is to offer a practical idea or skill in every session that can produce positive change outside of therapy.

She believes each person is the expert on their own story and that personal strengths are key to overcoming challenges. Rafaela recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and is proud when someone takes that first step.
