Rafaela Buenaventura
Therapist
I believe in viewing each individual within the context of their environment and utilize this approach as a means to decrease the stigma and labels of mental health. Going through my own life experiences, it has become my mission to create a place of safety in which others can be seen, heal, and grow. I work specifically with individuals who are struggling to cope and desire to deepen their understanding of their past and current experiences. And in doing so, are able to reclaim their confidence and inherent strengths to lead their most fulfilling life with a sense of empowerment and authenticity."
Chad Jeffers
Therapist
Hello, I’m Chad Jeffers. I’m originally from Ohio but have lived in Fort Lauderdale for the last 10 years. I graduated from Kent State University and then volunteered in the Peace Corps as a consultant for NGO’s. Upon my return, I enrolled at NOVA Southeastern University. I worked in construction while studying and eventually became responsible for the financing and management of large projects. After realizing I wanted a change, I took the opportunity to fulfill my goal of becoming a licensed counselor and am now a therapist at RSL Counseling. I am married to my wonderful husband of 6 years, who shares my passion for animals and water. I can normally be found with my dogs or tending to my aquarium. I enjoy boating and spending time on the water with friends and family. I like to read and to listen to new music. My hobbies include watch repair, painting, and bonsai trees to name a few. For my self-care, I exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet. I look forward to getting to know you better and working together.

Joshua Santiago
Therapist
My focus as a therapist has been helping clients challenge experienced traumas and working to find inner peace and healing. Treatment goals are focused on developing a better understanding of the self and role in society. Clients often come to treatment seeking stability and consistency in their journey and are open to a two-way dialogue regarding their needs. I can assist by providing individualized, trauma-informed treatment. I utilize cognitive processing therapy to help identify stuck points that interfere with day-to-day living. I offer a reflective listening style and will challenge my clients to think critically. My style is direct but warm and supportive. This is a judgment-free space focused on change. Reaching out for assistance or opening yourself up to someone can be really intimidating and bring a lot of worries. You are in control of your treatment, your growth, and your progress. My goal is help be a guide as you walk this path. You've got the keys and the wheel, I am here to point out what's coming up ahead.
