“I started working with Dr. Raviola when I was very young. We worked on helping me with worries and talking about what’s going on. He helped me develop as a person in elementary, middle, and high school, especially to be more social and outgoing. We kept meeting in college and I just graduated. We accomplished a lot together and I just greatly appreciate his help. I really do appreciate his help and that’s the thing!”

"I met Dr. Raviola when I was 13. I was a bit reluctant about why I was seeing him. We started by shooting hoops on the court by his office. He helped me navigate my way through ADHD and whether or not to try medication. He's always been supportive. It ended up helping me focus. Dr. Raviola has always been patient, and working with him brought a lot of comfort and confidence regarding the decisions I made for myself. I just graduated from high school and I’m very excited for college!"

"I have OCD, which is a biological condition. I've benefited from both focused psychotherapy and medication. In my situation, Dr. Raviola handled the medication part. The challenge I encountered was that the medication I was taking was causing side effects. Dr. Raviola helped me to transition from an effective medication (unfortunately with side effects), to a new medication I had not tried before. It was a scary time. In the end it was a great choice of medication as it has worked well and I no longer experience side effects. For the several years we met together before I moved on from college Dr. Raviola was knowledgeable, supportive and clear. I'm pleased to be stepping into my 20's and the start of my professional life with a high degree of confidence."  

“I have worked with Dr. Raviola for five years starting in high school, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is excellent. Our sessions are productive, as he is intelligent and patient. He and I have successfully navigated my difficult and toxic family drama. Today I am on good terms with all of my loved ones, and I am deeply grateful for his help in choosing to stay committed to them. He always has good advice if I ask for it, and he also just listens when that's what I need.”

“Dr. Giuseppe Raviola is the most knowledgeable, caring and attentive child and adolescent psychiatrist you will find. You can tell that he truly wants what is best for your child, carefully considers all courses of treatment, listens to everyone’s perspective and collaborates with other providers to give the best possible care. He has helped our child and family through a number of difficulties and is truly a gem. Our child looks forward to seeing him and trusts that he will truly listen and find solutions. I can’t express in words how significantly his help has impacted our family.”

“Dr. Raviola is an incredible, compassionate and flexible clinician. His insights and skill have helped transform how our family copes with significant mental health challenge. We are able to function in a completely different and positive way as a result of working with him. His collaborative practice was exactly what we needed during a challenging phase of life.”

“Our anxiety was high at start of visit. Dr Raviola quickly reassured us and made us feel comfortable. He spent plenty of time investigating the issues and was reassuring in his approach to resolve the problem. I highly recommend him if your child is struggling.”

“I am an adult male patient of Dr. Raviola. I have been working with him for nearly ten years now. When I first started working with him, I was in a very, very dark place. What’s worse, I could not find a therapist with whom I could click. I have had first sessions with some 15 therapists before meeting Dr. Raviola. The first few years with Dr. Raviola were really intense as we worked through many difficult issues. He is extremely understanding, compassionate, respectful, and most importantly competent. Over time, he helped me with many issues and reach emotional stability. Now I am in a very good place in my life, emotionally, socially, and professionally. Dr. Raviola is a truly exceptional therapist, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.”

“I'm a professional and a mom. I've been working with Dr. Raviola for over twelve years, after being referred by my therapist when I was considering medication as part of my care. From the beginning, he's taken the time to get to know me, thoughtfully explaining options and ensuring I could make informed decisions. His guidance, combined with therapy, has been an important part of helping me navigate the challenges of family, career, and daily life. Over the years he's remained a steady and supportive partner in my health. He's flexible yet consistent, kind in his approach, and attentive to my overall well-being. When unexpected challenges have come up, including issues with insurance, he's stepped in and advocated on my behalf. When we meet our time is purposeful and always leads to a clear plan. I truly feel that he's empowered me to take charge of my life and thrive.”

"I'd not been aware of how fortunate I am to have the life I'm living. It took me some time to see that. Dr. Raviola has accompanied me on this journey with humor and strong partnership." 

“Over the past more than ten years Dr. Raviola has helped me see who I am, what I’m capable of, and has pulled me out of the ruts or holes I can sometimes get in. Growing up I felt small and always behind, so I can have a negative lens on things. Both talking and medication help, together. Dr. Raviola is gentle and supportive, and I feel at peace speaking with him all these years. Without the medication things can be tough. It removes that negative lens. We’ve tried going without medication, but it takes the edge off. Work has been important. Sobriety is also a big part of it too. It all goes together. We used to meet weekly. Now we meet once a month and the regular connecting is important. We fine tune. He truly listens, helps me dissect things, and we find the right path forward."

"I am a recently retired man who has had a very satisfying family and professional life. My challenge was increasingly poor sleep. Unfortunately, prior to meeting Dr. Raviola, I found myself on medications that seemed to be making things worse, including inducing anxiety. Trying to stop the medications myself had become a nightmare as I had become physiologically dependent on them. Over time, and in concert with other supportive interventions, Dr. Raviola worked with me to gently wean me off all my medications. While it has been a journey,  I am now  free of all medications, and the quality of my sleep and my life has improved immensely.”
