Dr. Raymond Batista

Mr. Raymond Batista is a licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist in the State of New York who has been in practice aiding patients since 2012. He has the utmost experience and worked with a diverse range of populations, and found out one of his strengths and passions has been working with adults going through life transitions as well as increasing access to LGBT-affirmative care. Mr. Batista believes that one of the strongest change factors of psychotherapy is the ability to have a consistent working relationship, in a consistent space, once per week, that is entirely and completely devoted to the patient and their needs. Psychotherapy should ideally challenge people with the following question: In a world where people are often just defined just by what they do, how do you visualize, create, and finally live your version of a meaningful and enriching life across every single dimension of it (personal, relational, recreational, and vocational? Mr. Batista's approach is …both insight-oriented and client-centered, with a focus on addressing both immediate stressors while diving into a deeper conversation that promotes long-term insight and growth that patients can take with them.
