Radha Gaasbeek, EdS
Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern (RMFTI)
Hi, my name is Radha and I am grateful that you are here.
I know being here is not always easy, and I applaud your courage in showing up.
I would like to begin by sharing a bit about myself with you. As a person, my core values include: cultivating a life of compassion (offered to myself and others), intentionally engaging in what I do with a wholehearted spirit of service, learning to trust grace, and interacting from a place of genuineness, integrity, and humility as I embrace my humanity and the humanity of those around me. I strive to move through life as a practice of holding both the light and the dark, and I am consistently bringing myself back to choosing the path of continued learning, healing, and growth in all that I do.
Clinically speaking, I am a strengths-based, developmentally oriented, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming, relational counselor. My counseling philosophy is deeply humanistic and informed by my personal spiritual values. I have been told by clients that they experience me as warm, empathic, affirming, good humored, and able to challenge them gently. In my role as a therapist, I have experienced firsthand just how much healing lies in the quality of the therapeutic relationship; this guides me to actively prioritize our process of building trust and safety in order for you to access that healing. Along these lines, I consciously support my clients in slowing down, connecting to their emotions and bodies, and ultimately, coming back home to their true Selves.
Working through a lens of developmental psychology, I primarily integrate healing modalities rooted in Attachment theory, Structural Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and the Enneagram. Other therapeutic orientations I draw from include Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Couples Counseling, Mindfulness, and the 12-Step Model of Recovery. My aim is to empower couples, families, and individuals to begin to move through their layers of conditioning, heal their relationships with themselves and their loved ones, and live life with a greater sense of choice, self-awareness, emotional security, and self-compassion.
If my style speaks to you, I would love to schedule a (free) 15-minute phone consultation to see if we would be a good fit.
