Hello there! My name is Raven and I am the founder of Motive Wellness, LLC. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical addiction counselor (LCAC), certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) and a certified alcohol and drug abuse consultant (CADAC II). I have 8 yrs experience in mental health, 5 years in the counselor role. I’ve worked in psychiatric settings, corrections, and rehabilitation centers (kudos to those in recovery!). For starters, congratulations to you and your willingness to give therapy a try. Whether it’s with me or with another wonderful therapist, blessings to you as you start (or continue) your mental health journey. People have different “motives” that bring them to therapy. Maybe you’re the person who carries the world on your shoulders. You could be someone who struggles with finding their voice. Maybe you feel like you’ll never be enough or feel like you have to prove yourself to someone. There could be underlying motives that you may gain clarity on once you start therapy. What ever it may be, you got this. A brand new you is loading…😎

I have a Doctorate in Psychology and am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have been working as a therapist for over 16 years. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, trauma and LGBTQIA issues. I believe that therapy should be a safe place to talk about personal issues without any judgment. We all need someone to talk to and therapy provides that space where you can be yourself. We all go through some things from time to time and should be able allowed to talk with someone who is willing to listen and provide us with the support that we need.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Indiana rather than a city like Indianapolis?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Indiana. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Indiana from Fort Wayne to Evansville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Indiana.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
