Welcome to RichardRaubolt.com! I am a psychologist who provides psychotherapy in Grand Rapids and throughout Western Michigan. My office, located at 967 Spaulding Ave. S.E. in Ada, provides a renewing experience for the people I see in counseling and psychotherapy. Recently, I have focused my treatment to specialize with anxiety, panic and trauma disorders. Since these symptoms are intertwined I find successful psychotherapy, for individuals and couples, means addressing all three in a responsive, positive and dynamic fashion that I have developed over my 30 years of professional practice.

There are few situations in life that do not have anxiety as a central core issue. In such cases anxiety can pose a serious problem to healthy, joyful and creative experiences. Frequently, a trigger for such feelings of anxiety is a trauma, or series of traumas, that are sometimes recognized and sometimes not. Traumas come in all sizes and shapes, but even “micro-traumas” can lead to feelings of panic and a sense of being out of control.

My treatment approach is based on a collaborative effort to restore, revitalize and expand personal resiliency using the resources of the human heart, mind and spirit. My office setting supports this healing and has been described as a “meditative space.” It is quiet and peaceful, with large windows overlooking a private wooded area where hawks, deer and several wild turkeys can roam freely. I am pleased my office helps create an atmosphere where the people I see can join me to consider, explore, awaken and change the burdens of life and family traumas they have carried.

I encourage you to contact me if I can be of service to you or your family. If you would like to make an appointment or if you have questions, please feel free to contact me at 616.940.1100 or email me at r.raubolt@gmail.com.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Richard Raubolt, Ph.D.
