Raven is a wonderful therapist. I have worked on a bunch of issues with her for about 6 months now & they have become much smaller issues. -Almost to the point of my not needing her anymore. However, struggles in life never seem to completely go away. So she's there to get me back on track when I'm getting a little overwhelmed or confused. So glad to have been matched with her!

Raven is wonderful. She takes time to listen to you and gives you strategies to help. Each time we end our session I have a goal or something I’m trying that week. I feel like I will progress with her help.
