Individual Sessions with Adela Raffa
Step into Your Empowered Life
Each session begins with where you are right now. Rooted in Gestalt, NLP, Mindfulness, and Awareness Training, my practice invites you to be fully present, feel your emotions, and begin the transformative process of “peeling the onion.” Together, we’ll explore deeper layers of self-awareness, integrate all aspects of your being, and uncover the empowered, authentic you.
I believe life works for us, not against us. You already possess the inner resources to heal and grow—I’m here to guide you in accessing them.

NOTE: Appointments are either in person at my office in Roswell, Georgia OR virtual via ZOOM or FaceTime. I promise you will get the same presence, attention and quality of care either way.
My Approach: Empowering You to Create Change
Every journey is unique, and so is my process. Whether you’re an individual, leader, or part of a team, we’ll follow a simple yet transformative 4-step approach:
Identify where you are now. Take an honest inventory your mind, body, spirit & emotions.
Define Your Destination. What’s your vision? Together, we’ll clarify your goals and desired outcomes.
Uncover what holds you back: your limiting beliefs about yourself, about others and about life. Do you want a different story?
Take Action with Support: Armed with tailored tools and strategies, you’ll take meaningful steps toward your goals, with me by your side as your guide, confidant, and accountability partner.
Each session blends powerful techniques like Gestalt, NLP, Mindfulness, and Awareness Training. Whether we’re using experiential exercises, visual tools, or reflective dialogue, every approach is customized to meet your specific needs.

Here's a brief overview of the process involved in the empty chair practice:
Introduction and Set-Up:
The concept of the empty chair is introduced and its symbolic significance explained in the therapeutic process.
Identification of the Focus:
The client identifies the specific focus or topic they want to explore using the empty chair. This could be a relationship, an emotion, a past event, or an aspect of themselves.
Engaging in Dialogue:
The client begins a dialogue with the symbolic representation in the empty chair.
Role Reversal:
To gain different perspectives, the client may physically move between their original seat and the empty chair, adopting the role of both themselves and the symbolic representation. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play.
Expressing Emotions:
The practice encourages the authentic expression of emotions. Clients are encouraged to articulate their feelings, whether it's anger, sadness, joy, or any other emotion associated with the chosen focus.
Exploration and Clarification:
Through the dialogue, clients explore underlying thoughts, beliefs, and motivations related to the chosen focus. The therapist may ask guiding questions to help clarify and deepen the exploration.
Resolution and Integration:
The process aims for a sense of resolution, understanding, or acceptance. Clients often gain insights into their emotions and experiences, fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and personal growth.
Reflection and Discussion:
Following the empty chair exercise, the therapist and client reflect on the experience. This may involve discussing insights gained, emotions expressed, and any shifts in perspective.
Optional Integration of Tools:
Depending on the therapeutic approach, the empty chair practice may integrate additional tools such as mindfulness, visualization, or relaxation techniques to enhance the overall therapeutic experience.
Closing and Grounding:
The session concludes with a grounding exercise or discussion to help the client integrate the insights gained and carry them forward into their daily life.
In the space we create together, you'll find reassurance, support, and safety as you explore the depths of self-empowerment. Trust in the process, and allow yourself the opportunity to thrive. Your growth begins with a single step – and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
