Online Mental Health Support & Resources for Individuals & Therapists

Welcome to TheraBasics

Hey there! I'm Dr. Raven Barrow, the founder of TheraBasics.

Our mission is to empower individuals and therapists to improve the mental health experience by providing comprehensive tools, resources, and community support. We aim to reduce stigma, enhance therapy outcomes, and foster a supportive environment for mental health growth.

TheraBasics was created out of a desire to bridge the gap between clients and therapists, providing both with the resources and support needed to navigate the complexities of mental health care.

My goal is to fill the void that traditional therapy platforms like Psychology Today and AI technology can't provide. With significant mental health professional experience, I offer the one-on-one guidance that is crucial for truly understanding and navigating your therapy journey.

We’re here to help you feel less alone and more empowered on your mental health journey.
