Rae Therapeutic Services

Rae Therapeutic Services was created with one vision in mind: to provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a space that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. We understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at times, and our mission is to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and discover new possibilities for your future.

Who We Are

Our Approach

We believe therapy is more than just problem-solving — it’s about building resilience, deepening self-awareness, and creating lasting change. Our approach is guided by:

• Empathy – Meeting every client with understanding and compassion.

• Integrity – Providing care that is ethical, confidential, and trustworthy.

• Hope – Believing in each client’s capacity for growth and renewal.

We use evidence-based methods tailored to the unique needs of individuals, couples, and families. Whether through in-person sessions or secure telehealth, our goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and thrive.

Who We Serve

We support:

• Adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions.

• Children and adolescents working through emotions, relationships, and self-esteem.

• Couples looking to strengthen communication, trust, and intimacy.

• Families seeking harmony, understanding, and healthier dynamics.

Meet the Therapist

Hi, I’m Vanessa Fidalgo, the founder of Rae Therapeutic Services. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with years of experience helping individuals, children, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

My passion for this work comes from a deep belief that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I know from both personal and professional experience that life can feel overwhelming at times, and my role is to walk alongside you not just as a therapist, but as a partner in your journey toward resilience and renewal.

In our sessions, you can expect warmth, compassion, and practical tools you can use beyond therapy. I draw from evidence-based approaches, but I always tailor my work to the unique needs and strengths of each client.

Outside of my role as a therapist, I’m also a mother, daughter, and sister roles that keep me grounded, humble, and constantly learning. These parts of my life remind me daily of the importance of empathy, balance, and meaningful connection.

If you’re ready to take the first step, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
