About Dr. Bruce
Raven Bruce was
born on the lower east side of Manhattan into a world with no
end of curiosities. She attended parochial school in the city
where she played forts and communed with neighborhood stray animals.
Raven completed
her Doctoral work in Clinical Psychology at the California School
of Professional Psychology, San Francisco, CA (1996) with an
emphasis on coping styles and resilience studies. She began to
look deeply at the ways in which people rose above their suffering
to create meaningful, passion-filled lives.
Her clinical
work focused on therapy with people in crisis: people facing
cancer and AIDS diagnoses, inner city kids at -risk, homeless
women and people in the early stages of trauma recovery. Her
dissertation examined the efficacy of therapeutic interventions
with people in crisis. As part of her dissertation, Raven authored
an interactive coping skills workbook for women newly diagnosed
with HIV and Cancer.
In 1996, Raven
moved to Vermont with her dog and worked towards Vermont Licensure.
She started a psychotherapy practice in the evenings while working
for the next five years as a Psychologist and Case Manager at
a residential psychiatric facility.
After her son
was born in 2000, she left her day job and began work full -time
in her psychotherapy practice.
Raven's therapeutic
interest is to incorporate the tenets of mindfulness practice
into psychotherapy. Her practical, down-to-earth approach emphasizes
inherent human resilience and the acquisition of practical coping
tools to better manage life difficulties. Her specialties include
work with:
- trauma
- depression /emptyness
- anxiety
- grief and loss
- relationship
suffering
- identity issues
- the search for
meaning and passion
Raven's client
base includes both men and women, individuals, couples, families

in the State of Vermont as a Doctorate Level Clinical Psychologist
License #694.
She currently
offers both in-person and telephone psychotherapy sessions.

fee is $120 for a 50 minute session.

include playing cello and riding horseback in the woods. She
lives in Middlesex, Vermont with her partner, their son, her
