Getting to know Ratoya Mason
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) with extensive experience in clinical mental health counseling, higher education leadership, crisis intervention, and program development. Throughout my career, I have provided individual counseling, facilitated substance use recovery groups, coordinated treatment services, and supported college students through counseling and crisis intervention.
I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients address mental health concerns and work toward their personal goals. My approach emphasizes personal development, emotional wellness, and practical strategies that empower individuals to navigate challenges, build resilience, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel both hopeful and uncertain, and I believe it’s important for clients to know that counseling is a collaborative process. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore challenges, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS), I have experience working with individuals facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, substance use recovery, and personal growth. I also have extensive experience in crisis intervention and supporting individuals through difficult or overwhelming situations.
My counseling style is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I work alongside you to understand your unique experiences, identify patterns that may be contributing to current challenges, and develop practical strategies to help you make progress. I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help clients recognize the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and learn healthier ways of coping and responding to life’s challenges.
In our sessions, you can expect a balance of support, encouragement, and honest reflection. Some sessions may focus on processing emotions and experiences, while others may emphasize skill-building, problem-solving, and creating actionable steps toward your goals. I believe therapy is not just about addressing symptoms, but also about fostering resilience, self-awareness, emotional wellness, and lasting personal development.
Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season or striving to create positive changes in your life, I am committed to helping you gain insight, develop practical tools, and build confidence in your ability to navigate challenges and create a healthier, more fulfilling future.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical counseling experience with me is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping you make meaningful progress toward your goals. I believe that every client’s story is unique, so I tailor the counseling process to your individual needs, strengths, and circumstances.
During our first few sessions, we will spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to counseling. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, concerns, personal history, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Together, we’ll identify the areas you would like to improve and develop a plan that feels realistic and meaningful for you.
In a typical session, you can expect a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly discuss your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We may explore patterns that are contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, substance use concerns, or other challenges. I provide support and insight while also helping you develop practical skills you can apply in your daily life.
My approach incorporates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Depending on your needs, sessions may include identifying unhelpful thought patterns, learning coping strategies, improving communication skills, strengthening emotional regulation, building resilience, and developing healthy habits that support long-term well-being.
I strive to balance reflection with action. While we will take time to process emotions and experiences, we will also focus on practical steps that move you closer to your goals. Progress can look different for each person, but my goal is to help you gain greater self-awareness, confidence, and the tools needed to navigate life's challenges more effectively.
