Hey, I'm Rafaella

she/ella, LCSW, CSE, CST

I’m the founder and director of Healing Exchange, and while I’m not currently seeing therapy clients, I remain deeply engaged in the heart of the work. My clinical focus centers on the intersections of trauma, sexuality, and relationships, and I specialize in supporting people as they reconnect with themselves and with others in more authentic, pleasurable, and liberatory ways.

​

I’m trained in EMDR, IFS, CPT, and somatic-based practices, and I integrate these modalities into my consultation work with clinicians, educators, and organizations. Whether through clinical consultations, professional development trainings, or speaking engagements, I’m passionate about reshaping how we understand healing -- centering justice, embodiment, and radical care in every space I’m part of.
