Hello, my name is Rayven Battles, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I provide therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychosis, post-traumatic stress, grief, and personality disorders.
Clients often describe me as calm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, so I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly about your thoughts and experiences. My approach is collaborative and client-centered—I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to guide, support, and empower you as we work toward your goals.
I have certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Seeking Safety, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
In our sessions, I draw from evidence-based practices, tailoring each session to your unique needs. I value feedback and encourage open communication to ensure that therapy feels meaningful and effective for you.
My goal is to help clients manage life’s stressors, build emotional resilience, and achieve a greater sense of well-being. Together, we work to develop healthy coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and strengthen protective factors that support long-term emotional health.
