Raven Wilson is an amazing help to me. So is how the set up with better help. In all my years seeing therapist she has made me feel safe, understood and strong enough to conquer what I may face. She gives me helpfull tips and tricks to try and allows me the time to apply them to my daily life before reaching out to check in and see how I am and if I was able to use the strategies we went over! Highly recommend her!

Raven is a wonderful therapist. I have worked on a bunch of issues with her for about 6 months now & they have become much smaller issues. -Almost to the point of my not needing her anymore. However, struggles in life never seem to completely go away. So she's there to get me back on track when I'm getting a little overwhelmed or confused. So glad to have been matched with her!
