She listened, she understood and she really cared. I was able to have those hard conversations in complete privacy and confidence. She helped don't only manage my grief but overcome many childhood wounds. I felt stronger, gained more clarity and a fresh perspective. I became grateful rather than sad. Couldn't have wished for a better experience or a better outcome out of a very dark place. Their whole staff and offices were very conducive to a healing experience.

I don't get that feeling with a lot of counselors, therefore, this is a huge thing for me to say. I'm gad that she moved her practice within the city. Very awesome at listening without judgement and very encouraging. She indulges me in my offbeat sense of humor which is appreciated. I feel good after her sessions with new goals and ideas that I worked out myself through openly talking and with her asking appropriate questions to get me thinking a little bit more outside the box so that I can creatively come to my own conclusions. I can't wait to see her again in March.

I cannot praise this councillor enough. After many years of enduring a variety treatments and…read moremedications with trauma professionals I could not halt my downward slide. By the time I saw David Ravvin I was so far down the rabbit's hole I could barely see the light. He was my final attempt to overcome the debilitating effects of severe trauma and its "partner" - addiction. David is extremely knowledgeable in these areas and the most effective means of treating them, EMDR being one. He keeps himself informed of current developments and procedures and is not hesitant to suggest a change if one form of treatment does not seem to be effective. Most importantly I believe David has the ability to connect with those of us who suffer. He sees each person as an individual with unique needs and as such adjusts treatment and style of therapy accordingly. I have found him to be extremely supportive, compassionate, encouraging, non-judgemental and completely committed to your healing and wellbeing. I am indebted to him for all he has done for me. How unexpectedly wonderful it is to be able to look to the future with excitement and anticipation instead of sadness and fear. This he has given me. A. E. W. August 17, 2017
