MEET DR. DREW RAAB

I always begin by getting to know you as a whole person, not just the challenges you
face, but your strengths, your background and culture, your interests and hobbies, the
things you value most in life. With this as the foundation, I develop a treatment plan
customized to your unique experiences, needs, and goals. My approach is non-
judgmental, highly collaborative, and focused on the changes that you want to make.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and am Board Certified by the
American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), one of the highest levels of
certification available for psychologists. Additionally, I specialize in treating trauma and
PTSD. I work with individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, complex
trauma, many forms of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual, domestic, religious
and clerical), as well as war and military-related trauma.

I recognize the profound impact that systemic inequality and oppression can have
on a person. I strive to understand and address the ways that racism, sexism, sexual
orientation and gender identity-based discrimination, and other forms of prejudice may
affect an individual’s experience of trauma and their mental health.

I received my PhD from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. I’ve previously worked at
the National Center for PTSD and the Veterans Affairs health system in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, where I provided services in the PTSD clinic, the Center for the
Treatment of Addictive Disorders, and jointly coordinated the anger management
programming.

I know the process of trying to find a provider can be overwhelming, to say the least. I
think it takes a ton of strength and courage to reach out, and to honor that, I’m always
happy to chat about myself and the services I offer to help you decide if we might be a
good fit. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a first visit, please
don’t hesitate to email or call. I’m very much looking forward to hearing from you.
