Raymond Gardella
Intern with VCU Rehabilitation Mental Health Counseling
Personal Mission
I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals across all age groups. My career in education highlighted the significant impact emotional challenges have on students’ lives. This understanding led me to prioritize fostering strong relationships and creating welcoming environments, ultimately guiding me to the counseling profession.
I am eager to work with clients of all ages who are navigating life transitions, identity concerns, depression, anxiety, or other challenges.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time outdoors, whether hiking, cycling, running, or swimming. I also find joy in cooking and entertaining loved ones.
