Hi! My name is Raveena (she/her). In my work, I strive to bring warmth and a sense of healing into the therapy space. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, supportive environment, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Person-Centered Therapy. These modalities help me support clients in moving through stuck points, deepening present-moment awareness, and reconnecting them to their bodies.

As a South Asian therapist of Punjabi descent, I bring a deep sense of empathy and cultural awareness to my work with BIPOC clients. Working to break down systemic factors that impact people of color every day is crucial in my work, as it helps support clients’ autonomy and understanding of how the system directly impacts them. I recognize the complex, systemic challenges that marginalized communities face and strive to hold space for each client’s unique story through a multicultural and trauma-informed lens.

I particularly enjoy working with young adults navigating self-esteem and self-confidence issues, major life transitions, and relationship challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals impacted by racism, bigotry, intergenerational trauma, acculturation challenges, and disordered eating.

I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis & Clark College, and I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Addiction Studies from Washington State University (go Cougs!). I’ve also obtained certification in eating disorders treatment.
