About me

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts, with extensive training in trauma-focused therapy. I help my clients connect with their bodies (don't assume that you are always aware what your body is telling you!), manage impulsive behavior, not to let your anger to take the best of you, and generally calm down when you feel that stress overwhelms you. If you have communication problems with your parents, siblings, or friends, I might be able to help you. I am probably the age of your grandmother, so if you need someone younger, I might not be the best therapist for you. Otherwise, looking forward to meeting you (unfortunately, only virtually)

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Raisa Stinson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

It is too early to review Raisa but so far I can tell she is intelligent, responsive, tries to be patient and understanding. I almost quit BH before I found her.

Even though we just started working together, I feel that Raisa understands me when I speak and can help my husband and myself overcome our issues.

Work with me!
