Hello there!
I am Raisa Drew, an LCSW with a passion for empowerment and growth. As an accomplished Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an extensive eight-year journey in the field, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals I serve. My background reflects a commitment to helping teens and young adults navigate the challenges of life while fostering resilience, self-discovery, and mental well-being.
As an African American woman, I recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity and understanding in the therapeutic process. I am deeply attuned to the unique experiences and struggles that individuals from diverse backgrounds may encounter, and I aim to create a safe and inclusive space for all.
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based approaches. I believe in the power of reframing thoughts and building upon personal strengths to create lasting change. By combining evidence-based practices with a personalized touch, I empower my clients to overcome anxiety and depression, helping them take meaningful steps toward their goals.
Collaborative and compassionate, I strive to establish a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and open communication. Through active listening and empathetic guidance, I work hand-in-hand with my clients to co-create strategies that promote emotional well-being and self-growth.
Continuous learning is a cornerstone of my practice. I stay up-to-date with the latest research and innovations in the field, allowing me to integrate fresh insights into my sessions and provide the highest quality care.
Beyond my clinical work, I am a dedicated advocate for mental health awareness, breaking down stigma, and promoting equitable access to care for all.
If you're seeking a supportive partner on your journey to emotional wellness and personal transformation, I'm here to guide you with expertise, empathy, and a belief in your innate strengths. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
