Raymond Navarro, MS, LMHC

I am a licensed mental health counselor, psychotherapist, and founder of Navarro Counseling. My work combines compassionate, individualized counseling with practical mental health education.

I believe that every experience can offer something to learn, and that growth is possible even when progress feels slow. My goal is to help people feel understood, build useful skills, and find meaningful next steps.

Training & therapeutic approaches

My professional training and continuing education inform a flexible, individualized approach. Areas include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) — trained, not represented as certified
• Trauma-informed care
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
• Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches
• Mindfulness-based strategies
• Sports psychology and performance-focused training

More than the therapy room

Through Navarro Therapy’s educational articles and therapist-created workbooks, I share accessible tools for reflection, coping, boundaries, emotional regulation, and personal growth. These materials are educational and do not replace individualized psychotherapy.

Hope without denial. Growth without perfection. Strength without pretending.
