You want be a better partner, friend, family member, employee, and over person. You want closer because whatever "it" is continues to go through your mind. You want to find peace in your life but don't know where to start. I provide a listening ear, comfort, systematic feedback, education, and over time, our collaborative work will help you meet your goals. We will work well together if you are motivated, teachable, and open minded.

Enabling individuals, couples, and families to make meaning out of their life stories is my main goal. Focusing on the meaning of your relationships can enrich your life. I enjoy working with couples as well as famiies of all sort--families of procreation, adoption, and choice. In addition to counseling, I consult with family businesses, non-profits, and congregations. In my role as Director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Christian Theological Seminary, I supervise students to move toward their licensure as therapists. I provide private supervision and coaching on a limited basis through my credential as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor.

For over 20 years I have worked with a wide variety of clients. I specialize in insight oriented work with individuals, including dream work, offering weekly therapy as well relational psychoanalysis. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor (IN), Diplomate in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors and an American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor I provide individual, couple, family and group therapy, as well as supervision. My specialties include dream work and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

We all create a set of expectations of ourselves, our world, and others, beginning with our earliest relationships. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in exploring how these beliefs either strengthen or distort our approach to relationships, medical issues, trauma, and/or challenges. I have a general practice dealing with issues of depression, anxiety, adjustment, marital, and family issues. I also work with clients and their families who are coping with medical and/or genetic diagnoses. I see soldiers and/or their spouses who are adjusting to military related issues and deployments.

Are you feeling lonely in your relationship? Are you lacking meaning in your daily life? Have you been having the same arguments over and over again? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and/or others? Are you looking for someone to hear your story? I would love to have that honor and carry the hope for you until you can pick it back up again. We are given the gift of one another in our marital and family relationships to love and support us through our daily journey. We are part of a system that forms and challenges us. I can help you improve communication, intimacy, and family interaction while working through emotions.

During unexpected challenges in life, you may feel alone and as if no one fully understands your pain. You may even feel stuck and hopeless that things will ever improve or change. The decision to reach out for support is often scary, but an important and courageous step towards healing. Throughout my work hearing each person’s unique story, I have come to believe that meaningful connection and change is possible for everyone.

I am so glad you decided to take time to invest in yourself. Life often takes a toll on us, and we stay so busy it is hard to make time to take care of ourselves. I have worked with people with a variety of symptoms and from different walks of life. The thing a lot of people are missing is connection, and I strive to help create that connection and start moving forward. I work with men and women with the transition to parenthood and with couples in strengthening their marital friendship. I have experience work with trauma and have extensive training in this as well as being certified in EMDR.

Come as you are. I have many years of experience working with people and have seen people travel from brokenness to restoration. This isn't the end of your story. It takes an incredible amount of courage to face things in life but you don't have to be alone. I know that it can be scary to walk into a therapy room and share things that require great vulnerability. Lack of self-love. Infertility. Pregnancy Loss. Postpartum Depression. Guilt/Shame. Life Transitions. Identity. Marriage and Family Issues. Whatever you're facing, I would love to help you find healing.

Many of my clients enter therapy for the first time not knowing what to expect. As your therapist, I will explain the therapy process and paint a clear picture of where we are going. I work to provide an empathetic, safe environment for all of my clients, but I am especially skilled at helping clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transition & existential issues. My training also equips me to work with couples and families struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Some of these may include infidelity, parenting issues, and pre-marital counseling. I love helping couples connect who are struggling to do so.

It takes courage to make that first phone call to establish a therapy session and it takes even more courage to meet that therapist being vulnerable in discussing your concerns in this life. My goal when I meet every client is to support them in discovering how to make this life worth living. Many individuals go through life just coasting day by day trying to get by minute by minute. While I can not give you a magical solution to take care of all of life's problems, I can be there for you, listen to you and guide you towards living the best life you can live for you and your family.

Although it has become more widely normalized, therapy can be a daunting experience. The exploration of self is a vulnerable process that takes significant strength and courage. Opening yourself up to a stranger is no easy task. My hope, as your prospective therapist, is to provide a safe environment in which we can step into novel encounters, increasing understanding and self-growth. Staying just on the edge of discomfort, as we explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, without causing unnecessary harm. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship is a sacred one. Providing relational encounters for healing.

In an era where perinatal health reaches unprecedented lows and hormonal imbalances and infertility rates soar, I am here to provide dedicated care. I focus on all aspects of women's health by aiding females from teens to middle aged adults with hormonal imbalances, PCOS, irregular cycles, nutritional deficiencies, anxiety, birth trauma, postpartum depression, and more. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I take a holistic approach to address my clients' physical, mental, and emotional health to ultimately achieve whole body wellness.

Are you ready to do the hard work of healing with an open mind and heart?

Are you and your partner in conflict about sex? Maybe you disagree about how much sex is "enough;" maybe you are feeling rejected or misunderstood by your partner. And now that you have fought about the topic, which is a vulnerable one, solving the problem feels all the more tender and insurmountable. Many life changes can impact our sex lives, and partners can struggle to navigate these changes when they impact our sense of connection, intimacy, and validation. Engaging in sex therapy with your partner can help.

I am looking for a client who is motivated to make changes, may be struggling with depression or anxiety, or may even have some trauma that needs to be addressed. The ideal client would be ready to take the needed steps to make progress.

Hello there! My name is Raven and I am the founder of Motive Wellness, LLC. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical addiction counselor (LCAC), certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) and a certified alcohol and drug abuse consultant (CADAC). I have 8 yrs experience in mental health, 3 years in the counselor role. I’ve worked in psychiatric settings, corrections, and rehabilitation centers (kudos to those in recovery!). For starters, congratulations to you and your willingness to give therapy a try.

I am so glad that our paths have crossed. Seeking help takes courage and we all need it from time to time. I view counseling as a relatively short term investment that yields a lifetime of value. In my personal and professional experience I have found that it usually takes a third party to help identify and challenge problematic patterns that keep us hurting and stuck. In this way, counseling helps you to develop new ways of thinking about and responding to life's inevitable challenges. Please feel free to browse www.threestonescounseling.com to find out more.
