About Allison Ravech
Combining Compassion + Care
Hello, and welcome to my site. I'm Allison Ravech, a dedicated psychotherapist serving the Rhode Island area. My passion lies in facilitating healing and supporting individuals in reaching their fullest potential. I consider it an honor to support the clients I work with, approaching each therapeutic relationship with genuine openness and acceptance. Providing a warm and culturally sensitive environment is my utmost priority in engaging with all clients.
my experience
My extensive experience spans various settings, including outpatient psychotherapy, inpatient psychiatric treatment, research environments, and the juvenile justice system.
