“I had the unique privilege of working under Raf’s guidance as an intern as well as throughout the course of my associate licensure. As a testament to the supportive relationship we cultivated in supervision I have continued to periodically seek feedback on my practice from Raf now well into my full licensure. It is difficult to imagine there is anyone more dedicated, accessible, or critically considerate who also possesses Raf’s level of clinical mastery and the vastness of his diagnostic experience. I can say without hesitation that practicing under Raf’s guidance changed the course of my career. If you are seeking transformative collaboration with a bonafide expert who embodies social work values, look no further than Raf.”

"Choosing Raf as a clinical supervisor was one of the best decisions I made when I was an LCSW-A. His wide array of clinical experiences makes Raf an invaluable supervisor. He made the most of every supervision session, and specifically helped me strengthen my diagnostic and assessment skills. He has a warm, caring, and direct communication style that created space for me to bring up uncomfortable or tough clinical topics without fear of being judged. He looked for opportunities to push me out of my comfort zone, all in service of making me the clinician I am today."

-Mary Houston, LCSW

"I currently have the pleasure of having Raf as my clinical supervisor for my NC LCSW-A. Raf has exceptional leadership skills and knowledge of the social work field. Supervision has provided me with guidance, growth, examples, strategies, diagnostic training, and feedback within the framework of social work values, theories, and perspectives. From this experience, I continue to grow and improve my social work practice and clinical skills. Raf has exceeded my expectations of what I thought the supervision process would be like. If you're looking for a mentor or clinical supervisor, I highly recommend Raf. Thank me later!"

Mr. Lane’s vast clinical experience became evident during our work in the emergency department. He supported me through complex cases and always raised meaningful discussions that helped me think more critically about my patients. His feedback is both encouraging and insightful.

Working with Rafel Lane has been one of the greatest experiences I have had. He took his time to understand my issues and helped me with understanding and forming my thoughts in a coherent manner, and helping with finding different ways of dealing with any issues I would have. His use of different forms of media and techniques helped me excel with understanding and managing my anxiety. Also, helped with finding the root causes and helping to maintain a healthy mental health and taking time for myself. Rafel makes it easy to relate and helps with providing continuous support and compassion through our session and checking in via email. I highly recommend working with Rafel.

"I started my journey with Raf in December last year, just before the holiday season. Typically, as the year drew to a conclusion, like many, I set resolutions for the following year: this time my resolution was “I want to find greater happiness”. My sessions with Raf have touched numerous aspects of my life, including family dynamics, the relationship with my child, work related challenges, and lately the relationship with my wife. I am happy to share that since beginning my therapy with Raf, I have noticed significant improvements across all these areas. My overall serenity and positive energy have significantly enhanced. Raf's approach is one of empathy and patience, and he possesses a keen ability to listen deeply. I believe that one of the things that distinguishes Raf as a great therapist is that when I work with him I feel that he really cares about my well-being. It's noticeable and makes me feel safe so that I can trust him as someone who's looking after my mental health. Over time it makes me feel comfortable about opening myself, so that we can work on things that matter. Our discussions are invariably enriching, as he provides tailored solutions that often leave me impressed by his perceptiveness. It is without any hesitation that I recommend Raf for anyone seeking thoughtful and effective psychological support."
