Grief Therapists in 30188

Hello, my name is Rachel Raven and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Sociology from the University of Georgia in 2011 and received my Master’s in Social Work from Kennesaw State University in 2016. I have had diverse experience including hospital case management, child/adolescent grief counseling, group work with Cirque du Monde (a circus outreach program for at-risk youth), and domestic violence survivor support. Additionally, I volunteer annually at Give Kids the World Village in Orlando, which is an accessible resort for Make-A-Wish children and their families.

Starting therapy, or beginning again with a new therapist, is a big step. Clients often call me when they realize things are going to change or when traditional talk-therapy has reached its limit. If you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, or grief/loss, things can seem overwhelming. You can reach the other side, with a deeper sense of your purpose and your spiritual nature. If you are spiritually/metaphysically based, if you believe you co-create your reality, if traditional therapy is no longer helping, I understand your unique perspective. My frame of reference is deeply rooted in the synergy of the mind-body-spirit connection.

Since 2012 I have worked with teens, adults, couples and families. My primary areas of focus include: teenagers who struggle with anxiety, depression and overall life stressors; families in relationship conflict; young adults; individuals processing through divorce, loss or grief as well as parents who are working to find a good co-parenting space whether they are under the same roof or not. I coordinate care with my fellow colleagues who may be working with different members of a family as well as the legal community working on behalf of parents and their children.

Are you experiencing dissociation, depression, or grief? For these issues and more, I offer evidence-based trauma therapies such as EMDR in addition to creative art, somatic, and parts work. Like the Walk Whitman quote “I contain multitudes” says, we all have many parts of ourselves, each with their adaptive strengths. Together we can engage with your pain while gently exploring parts of you that may be stuck in the past and making present healing difficult.

I have been in practice for twenty-five years. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Nationally Certified School Counselor, I provide counseling services on a variety of issues including; anxiety, depression, teen issues, and grief. I provide help to hurting adolescents, marriages, families and women. I offer conventional or Christian counseling in a supportive, respectful environment. My approach to counseling is empathetic and growth oriented. My goal is to empower clients to develop personal strengths and skills. I strive to help clients resolve life issues by restoring hope and building a healthy and fulfilling life.

My goal in therapy is to help clients grow and connect with their most authentic selves. I am passionate about working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. As a queer and nonbinary person, I am uniquely tuned into the needs of gender expansive individuals and am very passionate about working with LGBTQ+ people. Finding a therapist that you don't have to explain your identity to can be challenging. I am someone who intimately understands and can provide specialized care.

I believe that each person's spiritual, emotional, and physical qualities are connected in such a way that a problem in one area affects the others. My experience with couples and individual adults includes addressing issues of anxiety, addiction and codependency, grief and loss, healing from divorce, boundaries, stress management, relationships, and communication issues. I also have experience in helping with relationships dealing with sex or porn addiction - working with the wife or the husband, or both together.

Do you find yourself in a relationship lacking the deep connection you long for? I have extensive training and experience in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) and believe I can help. I provide a safe place for you and your partner to deepen the bond between you. In our work together, we will pursue insight into what is getting in the way of you experiencing safety and security in your relationship and thus deepening closeness with each other. I also have experience in working with couples whose relationship has been injured by infidelity and betrayal.

The experience of life has many emotions...joy, excitement, fear, sadness, or grief, to name just a few. When negative emotions become overwhelming, it helps to talk to someone who can be objective, unbiased, and supportive. My aim in therapy is to explore the feelings defining your life, from your perspective, while in a safe and caring environment. Together, we'll explore your existing strengths and abilites, discover new ways to use or enhance your coping skills, and help you to build hope and resiliency through all of the phases of your adult life.
