Raven Royal
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
My Approach
My therapeutic approach is clearly much different from the typical traditional therapy style. My approach is eclectic and I use a variety of modalities and orientations such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Shadow Work Therapy, ACT and Trauma-Informed Therapy.
I approach therapy under the impression that my clients are the experts on their lives and experiences I am merely a tool or guide to help you to discover the best parts of yourself while understanding that it is through the pain of life that often brings us to therapy because we are no longer comfortable with aspects of lives.
About Raven
I have been in the mental health field for 12 years. I started off my journey while in college as a Child Care Worker in a residential treatment facility for foster children. I eventually would go on to working as a School Counselor, where I worked with at-risk middle school-aged children

Couples
Therapy
The first session is spent learning more about each individual person and your relationship as a couple. Ideally, I would prefer each couple to come into the first session together if possible, if for some reason that is not possible, understand that my ethical responsibility is to ensure that my approach to the couple as a unit is unbias.
If I meet with one person initially, I will also meet with the other person individually for the same amount of sessions that I gave the other person in the couple unit. My minimum sessions that I will meet with couples individually is 3 sessions before I will require that the other person start joining to sessions.

Marriage & Family
Therapy
Life is expected to have ups and downs and that is unavoidable. The therapeutic relationship that I hope to bring to our sessions is one of compassion, understanding, empathy, and openness to differences without judgment.
It is my belief that everyone on this planet strives to have a good quality of life and can become overwhelmed with constant disappointments, self-doubt, and a sense of feeling lost.
