Clinical Assistant Professor

Dr. Raven Krautkramer I started my counseling journey as a master’s student in Loyola University Chicago’s Community Counseling program, then earned my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from Adler University. During my doctorate program, I taught my first counseling course as an intern, which solidified my belonging in counselor education. For me, it feels purposeful and invigorating to guide students through their process of becoming professional mental health counselors. In my role at Marquette University, I implement the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis into my teaching practice, which I valued from my instructors at Loyola, a fellow Jesuit university. I also incorporate aspects of the person-centered counseling methodology into my teaching approach, exhibiting support, empathic understanding, and authenticity to empower student growth and development. Moreover, I strive to promote cultural responsiveness by addressing social justice issues in my courses. I gained much of my clinical experience working with marginalized populations at community mental health organizations in Chicago. I provided person-centered therapy services to individuals, couples, and families and delivered supervision to counselors-in-training. As I transition to living in Wisconsin, I look forward to continuing my clinical work with couples and adults and supervising clinicians. My research interests include the implications of online dating, family and sociocultural influences on romantic relationships, and clinical risk management training for suicidality. I feel it is essential for mental health counselors, supervisors, and counselor educators to understand the unique elements of romantic relationships and how they can influence mental health and wellbeing.

Dr. Krautkramer will NOT be taking a new counseling psychology doctoral student for Fall 2025.
