Not only did she expertly give me the tools to better handle the situation and my anxiety, but she helped me to uncover the underlying causes to many of my issues. I am forever grateful. I recently started seeing her again and am in awe with how well she understands stands my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I saw a different therapist prior to seeing her again due to short term unavailability, and there is no comparison with others in her profession. I cannot stress enough how helpful she has been to my life, and I rush to convince everyone (with or without major issues/anxiety) to see her.

I can't even explain how Raquele changed my life…read more We met earlier this year when I was going through a hard time. Upon my search, I knew I wanted a woman of color specializing in relationships whether it be family or romantic partners. After reading her profile I was convinced and I sent a note. She dialed me immediately and I cried. It was then when I knew I had to move forward to an in person meeting and continue sessions. Raquele made me feel safe earlier on. Where my outlandish thoughts and behavior was welcomed and not judged. It feels very natural to me, and not the kind of questions and dynamic you see in films. It's all relaxing and welcoming environment. She's very knowledgeable too! She always recommends books and passages for me to read to give me perspective and challenge my thoughts. Love it all. She affirms me and it makes me feel like I'm not alone or crazy to think/behave the way I do. Over the last few months together with consistent sessions, I am truly a better woman thanks to her. Ive grown up a lot, with her help! I've been through a lot this past year with the various categories of life, and she has been a constant figure who pushes me to show up for myself and heal through it all. Alright, basically if you're looking for someone to help you grow or work out some stuff, she's your girl. Love you so much Raquele (if you're reading this!)

I was experiencing…read morehigh anxiety with work, high anxiety with family issues and Raquel help guide me back to positivity. I knew it was there, but I was so low that I couldn't surface it on my own. After uncovering the issues and resolving them, my husband and I started going for couples therapy to better our communication and keep our relationship on the path of success in friendship and love. It has been extremely helpful for us, and I can't thank her enough for the growth I've experienced personally as well as in my marriage. Seeing Raquel has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself as an adult and for the health of my marriage. I love her and would recommend her to anyone who's looking to better themselves and their family. Shine on girl.

We felt very fortunate to work with Jasmin as just a few sessions made a big difference. What impressed us most was Jasmin's ability to be both professionally knowledgeable and personally warm. She remained completely unbiased, making both of us feel heard and understood. Jasmin provided practical tools we still use months later. She remembered details about our lives and genuinely invested in our progress while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. The safe space she created allowed us to be vulnerable and honest. Our communication has improved, and we're now stronger than ever. If you're looking for a couples therapist who balances expertise with genuine care, I couldn't recommend Jasmin more highly.

I've had my share of 'just okay' therapy experiences. But in 2025, I decided it was time to find a…read moretherapist I truly loved, someone I'd look forward to seeing each week, and someone who made me feel like I got my money's worth. I told myself I'd approach my search like dating and interview several therapists to find the perfect match. During my first "date" with Jasmine, I was upfront: I was 'shopping around.' I also let her know that as a Black woman, I was mainly focused on finding a woman of color to work with. From the very first call, I knew Jasmine was 'the one.' She was exactly as described in her write-up, only better! She's the perfect mix of upbeat and sunny, with a refreshing personality, balanced by candor, honesty, and a real ability to synthesize what she heard. Exactly what I was looking for. I didn't just want a therapist to vent to. I wanted someone who could create a safe space, call me on my BS, and offer solutions to help me grow. That's exactly what I've found in Jasmine. I truly look forward to our weekly sessions and have been consistent since starting in January. If anything, I always wish we had more time! So much so that I'm now meeting with her twice a week starting tomorrow. I leave each session with 'aha' moments, eager to share my progress and learning with my friends and family. I've made a lot of progress in just a few months and can feel myself growing. I can't wait to see where I am in a year of working with Jasmine! 10/10 recommend! ...now if only my dating search was as seamless as my therapy search :)

Yuko is not just an exceptional listener, but genuinely compassionate and really helps draw things out emotionally that you wouldn't normally think to share/explain - all yielding an incredible healing/growing experience.

I had AMAZING THERAPY SESSIONS with Dr. Hanakawa to get rid of my PHOBIA and anxiety around it in…read morejust seven sessions! I just wanted to thank her and share this experience with others so that others like me feel easy to at least try it out instead of suffering through it. She is not only a skillful and knowledgeable therapist, but her personality is down to earth, genuinely sweet and kind. She also seems to take a good care of her own health, meditate, and study constantly to keep up to be a good therapist (I cannot listen to a doctor who looks unhealthy and tells me to be healthy, you know?) so that I can talk about both psychological (phobia and stress) issues as well as physical concerns (I do not like psychoanalysts who think every physical symptom comes from psychosomatic symptoms). I was surprised that it did not take much time for me to relax and trust her. I used to have very sever hemophobia (afraid of blood), and I tried all kinds of therapy to get rid of it over many years. I used to faint by just drawing out my blood; CBT and other psychotherapy reduced my symptoms and cognitive fear, but I was still physically shaky whenever I was around blood (even cooking meat was hard). Since I was working in the mental health industry for several years, I've worked with several top psychiatrists who also did psychotherapy, PsyD., counselors, and clinical social workers... I myself had a great psychoanalyst mentor (Ph.D., who went to the same school as Dr. Hanakawa) for 4 years, and I thought I had quite bit of insight. My ex-mentor figured out that my phobia started through some event during my childhood, so she recommended me to find a Japanese speaking psychologist who could do hypno-therapy (She said it is more effective to use the language that I was using as a child). There are many Japanese clinical social workers in NY, but not many Ph.D.s... It would have been fine with other people, but it was a problem for me because I know the difference in their training. Then, one of my friends, who works for a Japanese newspaper company heard good things about her, and introduced me to Dr. Hanakawa. So I went to see her. I am a very scientific thinker, so I must say I was a bit skeptical if this therapy would work or not after trying so many other things. I heard some phobias are innate (such as blood, heights and snakes, etc.), so I thought talking about traumatic views I evidenced (which was not that serious anyway, I thought) would not benefit me as much. Oh, Boy, I'm so glad I was wrong though. She guided me into a meditative state, and took me to my childhood event. It was a totally different experience to see the event from a 5-yr old's eyes, and it gave me a new perspective that I did not have before. We worked on it over a month or so, and I started to feel lighter almost immediately (of course, it put me up and down a bit as I was learning new things about my past that I was not facing, but Dr. Hanakawa was there to support me). One day, I was watching a bloody surgery video as part of CBT exposure therapy technique. I used to push myself to watch them more than 15 minutes, but I always got pale and felt sick. It became easier, and now I can watch them with absolutely no symptoms! She said the speed of therapy is really depending on the patient's condition, type of therapy, and previous exposure to psychotherapy. I assume it was very quick for me because I already had previous therapy experience, had some insights about myself, and meditate regularly (it helps to get hypnotized). So please don't get frustrated if your therapy takes little longer... you will be in good hands! :)
