You bring a unique story, and your care should reflect that. Having practiced social work since 2013 and specialized in telehealth therapy since 2020, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals across a wide range of diverse and complex life circumstances.
Over the years, I have provided therapeutic care within the criminal justice system, worked closely with individuals who were detained or incarcerated, and assisted veterans experiencing homelessness as they transitioned toward stability. Additionally, I have spent over four years running a private practice that was uniquely geared towards supporting Black and Brown people, as well as LGBTQ+IA populations, creating an affirming space for individuals from all walks of life to navigate daily stressors and heal from deeper trauma so you can reclaim your narrative and thrive.
Outside of my clinical work, I am deeply connected to nature and have a profound love for plants, animals, and all living organisms. This passion fuels my ongoing interest in studying horticulture and soil science, which reminds me daily of the beautiful cycles of growth and regeneration.
I am also a certified yoga instructor and an integrative nutrition health coach who loves studying how holistic wellness can influence emotional and mental health. I cherish a grounded life at home cooking nourishing meals, spending quality time with my wonderful spouse, and laughing at the playful energy of our puppy and kitten. I also enjoy occasional travel to experience new cultures, which continually expands my perspective on human resilience.
I look forward to partnering with you on your unique journey toward a more empowered, resilient life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Exactly who I needed when I needed help
I have been loving working with Rasheena!
Radheena has been an awesome support!
Rasheena is very down to earth and grounded in a way that makes you more grounded also. It’s almost as if she’s a magnet helping you find your way back to your center. I haven’t had many sessions yet but I can already sense some positive change. I’m thankful
After only a couple of sessions with Rasheena I’ve been pretty comfortable with being open about my life. She’s extremely supportive and helpful. Wonderful experience so far!
True Soul Healer
Rasheena has been a wonderful therapist for me so far! She is very warm, calming, actively listens but also pushes me to dive deeper into difficult areas of my experiences and provides a lot of advice and supportive materials. I feel like she has provided me with a safe space to start my healing journey and really dives into the deeper needs than just what I talk about and think about. I really value her perspective, experience and kind way of providing strong support and space.
It’s my first time seeing a therapist and so far my experience with Rasheena has been great. She helps me see my situations from a different perspective. 10/10
