Rafael Portuges

LMFT Oceanside Therapy and Wellness
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, ADD/ADHD, Adjustment Disorder,

Introduction

I have extensive experience providing treatment to adults, couples, children, adolescents and families to address depression, anxiety, trauma, parent-child conflict, relationships challenges, behavioral concerns, and more. As your therapist, I will provide a safe, caring, and confidential environment to achieve your desired outcomes. We will explore how ones past experiences, thoughts, unconscious beliefs affect current feelings and behaviors to support a journey towards a balanced sense of self. My task is always to ensure that those I work with are able to safely discover how to achieve the change that is desired.
