Hi, I’m Ravina
Licensed therapist (LPCC, #16404) with a deeply personal mission for curating brave spaces where individuals can heal, grow, unlearn and embrace alignment with our authentic selves. I am also a spoken word artist, published author, speaker, and cat mama of two.
I learned (in my own journey) that silencing myself was safer, people pleasing was favorable, and putting myself in the back row was more acceptable, rather than being my authentic, full self. I learned that it was normal to live in the shadows with anxiety, trauma and depression looming in the shadows. In my own healing journey, I’ve been fortunate to access spaces in which I could unlearn cultural trauma, and conditioning, process my trauma and center my voice. As a professional artist and therapist, I learned to embrace the fact that my story matters --and I just know that yours does too.
My sessions incorporate individual, intersectional therapeutic approaches. I am professionally certified and trained in a variety of modalities including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Narrative Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, Attachment Based Therapy, and more. Though some of these approaches have been around for some time- I aim to de-center colonial, outdated techniques and center your needs, goals, and desires at the forefront of your therapy journey.
As your therapist, I strive to create a warm, purposeful space where therapy can feel authentic to your vibe. Therapy is not a one size fits all journey and it shouldn’t feel cold, rigid, or orchestrated by someone with their own agenda. I strive and take pride in developing our therapeutic relationship. I understand and respect the value of your time and know that it takes an intentional choice to be here- one I do not take lightly!
Sometimes therapy lasts months and sometimes it lasts for years. You will get a clearer sense of this when we begin. We take our time, but we also stay consistent and work hard so that you can bloom into your alignment.
I cannot wait to work with you as a witness in your healing journey as you navigate life, your symptoms, diagnoses and more. Together we’ll explore, identify, unlearn, re-learn, embrace, and go from surviving to aligning.
