Humanistic Therapists in 89104

For the basis of my clinical practice, I work from a humanistic client-centered approach based upon Carl Rogers' view that people "are trustworthy, resourceful, capable of self-understanding and self-direction, able to make constructive changes, and able to live effective and productive lives". As a counselor my job is to help remove barriers to change once that is done the individual can proceed on their natural path toward growth and self-fulfillment. Although this is my primary basis for treatment, I will also utilize other therapeutic tools to meet your treatment goals.

Hi, I am Jennifer, and I look forward to speaking with you. I offer a safe place for you to talk and share your feelings. Through listening, guiding, and offering tools to help you empower yourself, you will learn to solve your issues and/or manage your mental health to live a more fulfilling, peace-filled, happy, and authentic life. As your therapist, I will work with you to help you meet your therapeutic goals and make healthier choices. We will process your life events, trauma, or grief and loss to help you find acceptance, learn to let go, and not hold on to guilt or shame while learning what it means to be resilient.

Being seen and valued for who we truly are, particularly in a space free of judgment, bias, and pretense, is an incredible feeling. When we feel safe to be ourselves, peace and healing naturally follow. From there, we can blossom, grow, and thrive! It often takes that feeling of safety and security for the truest parts of ourselves to be free to emerge. The essence of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and the sense of safety that comes with it. Knowing that you are in a space where your confidence is kept, your story is protected, and your whole person is viewed with loving kindness allows for growth.

I’ve helped my clients break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. Get in touch today to see what I can do for you.

After receiving a BA in Psychology from Rutgers University, I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles in 2002. Licensed in California in 2004, I worked for 13 years at a community mental health non profit organization where over the years I served as psychologist, supervisor, manager, and clinical director, a position I held for 10 years. I relocated to Las Vegas in 2016 and started Raven Psychological Services.
