Raven Taylor-Aduwak, LAC

Welcome! I have over 20 years of professional experience in mental health counseling. I work with adults and teenagers (13+). If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, anger, substance addiction, adjusting to physical disabilities or chronic illness, a major life change, work or school challenges, and problems in relationships with others, I would love to be the one to help. My approach essentially is to make all experiences unique and individual-specific, while incorporating motivational interviewing, DBT, CBT, ACT, and Supportive-Talk Therapy.

I recently moved to Arizona from New York. I graduated from New York University with a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I am easy to talk to and offer a non-judgmental atmosphere to open up. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Welcome! I am a compassionate therapist with over 10 years of counseling experience specializing in working with teenagers and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family relationship problems, anger, grief and loss, life changes and navigating adulthood.  I am EMDR trained and use EMDR to help process trauma. I can help you move from feeling stuck and incapable of change to a place of freedom and relief.  In addition to EMDR, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Polyvagal Theory, Solution Focused and Internal Family Systems. I also implement expressive arts therapy into my sessions, such as art-based interventions, guided mediation or journaling. These creative methods can help clients tap into their inner wisdom, cultivate self-awareness, and develop coping strategies to live a more fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and work towards healing and personal growth. I have a Master's degree in Social Work from Arizona State University.  I welcome anyone seeking support and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
