Resiliency...this is the most powerful quality of the human spirit. I work with clients to help them realize and expand upon this quality. I have been in the mental health field since 1998. My career has given me the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults in every imaginable setting (e.g., private practice, clinics, inpatient, outpatient, outdoor therapy, HIV/AIDS, incarceration, foster care, addiction). My education, clients, and experiences have given me a wealth of understanding that I am thankful to be able to bring into my private practice.

I am a mental health counselor working in a private practice setting in Canton, GA. I serve a variety of clients, from children and adolescents to older, more mature clients with lots of "life experiences." I work with some individuals who have had a long history of mental illness and who have been treated in hospital settings for their condition. I also work with people who have never been diagnosed with a mental illness or hospitalized, but who are looking to work on particular issues in their lives and set goals to improve their relationships with others.

Mental health struggles, counseling, and therapeutic relationship can be intimidating phrases. Whether you want a mental health check in, feel stuck in place, help with difficult transitions, or beginning a new exploration in your life, I would take the next steps alongside you.

I enjoy working with all populations. My passion for helping others continues to grow each day.

I listen to my clients, offer support, encouragement and hope.

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.

My ideal client would be an adolescent who has endured some type of trauma or abuse. Their needs would include building resiliency and expanding their coping skills "toolbox." Their goal would ultimately be to find hope and healing, despite their adversities. They would want to be an active participant in their treatment, so that therapy could be as beneficial as possible. Having said that, any client who feels that they could benefit from my counseling services is more than welcome into my office!

I work with children, teens, and adults, and am passionate about using both effective and creative therapy techniques to empower individuals and families on their unique journeys (yes, this sometimes even includes art, music, and body movement while in my therapy room!).

Play Therapist Accepting Saturday Clients - Kids have incredible internal resources for healing and resiliency, but sometimes, those resources are blocked. Through play and creative expression, I partner with kids to affirm and connect with themselves. My approach is compassionate.

Many people go through life and encounter hardships and obstacles that at times may seem impossible to overcome. You deserve a nonjudgmental, supportive guide to walk that path with you for as long as you may need. Utilizing a humanistic lens, I strive to create a safe and supportive space using empathy and acceptance in order for clients to gain valuable insight, identify strengths, realize their capabilities, and heal.

My passion is working with adolescents and young adults; what some would call Generation Z and the Millennials. I work to assist with creating stability within themselves to then work towards creating stability outside of themselves. I strive to provide a nurturing and safe atmosphere to develop rapport and develop goals to assist in becoming the best person they can be. I aim to explore their emotions, learn effective coping strategies, and make changes that push them toward healing and full wellness. I aim to meet my clients where they are, increase awareness of their emotional and cognitive experiences/behaviors and reach goals.
