YOU’RE THE FIRST TO MAKE IT…
LACUNA is a financial therapy firm created for first-generation success stories who are carrying more than just a paycheck.
The Gap
For the ones who made it and still feel the weight.
You climbed. You built. You broke the ceiling your parents didn't even know existed. And yet, money still feels complicated. Charging feels guilty. Keeping it feels unsafe. Success feels like something you have to earn every single day.
That's not ambition. That's a wound dressed up as drive.
Lacuna exists for first-generation executives and entrepreneurs who are ready to stop managing their trauma and start healing it, financially and emotionally.
This is for you if ,
- You earn well and still feel broke inside
- You avoid looking at your accounts even when the money is there
- Charging what you're worth makes you physically uncomfortable
- You're the financial backbone of your family and nobody knows the weight of that
- You've built something real and secretly wonder when it all falls apart
- You want to talk about money and feelings in the same room, without being judged
You don't have to be in crisis to deserve this work. You just have to be ready to stop managing it alone.
Client Stories
What happens when someone names it.
These are real moments from real sessions. The kind that make you sit with it, and come back.
We don't manage portfolios or build you a budget spreadsheet.
We don't do goal-setting sessions and vision boards.
The emotional and psychological work underneath every money decision you've ever made, and why you keep making the same ones.
She asked me what I wanted my business to bring in. I said 80K monthly. She asked me if that was based on capacity or comfort. I didn't answer right away. She let it sit. Then she said I was building around what felt safe, not what was possible. I left thinking completely different.
She asked me my revenue target. I said 5K. She looked at me and asked, a week or a day. Straight face. I meant a month. In that moment I knew I was in the right place. She named exactly what I had been running from. So I stopped running.
I told her I wanted to feel safe spending money, not just make more of it. She didn't flinch. She said that was the most honest thing a client had told her in months. I'm a W2 earner. I don't have a business. I just needed someone who understood why making good money still felt like not enough.
The Process
Simple steps. Deep work.
Book Your Free Consultation
We meet virtually. No pressure, no pitch. Just a real conversation to see if we're the right fit for each other. This work requires trust on both sides.
We Find the Gap
Together we identify what's sitting between where you are and what's actually possible. Not your strategy. The pattern underneath your strategy.
We Do the Work
Session by session, pattern by pattern. Financial therapy isn't a one-time fix, it's a practice. That's why continued biweekly care is how real shifts happen.
Before We Begin
Not quite love at first sight, and that's the point.
This work is intimate. The kind where you say things out loud you've never said to anyone. That means we both need to feel it before we commit.
Your first step is a consultation, a no-pressure conversation where we get honest about where you are, where you want to go, and whether we're genuinely the right fit for this journey together.
Continued care is recommended biweekly at minimum. More frequent sessions are available and advised for those in active pattern work.

Meet Raven
She was the first. That's why she gets it.
Raven-Symone Simon was the first in her family to become a CPA. The first to earn six figures. The first to run multiple businesses while leading in corporate America. She knows exactly what it costs to be the one who made it, because she paid that price herself.
After 15+ years in the financial world, she stopped just building wealth and started healing it. Because she kept seeing the same thing. High achievers who had the numbers right and the peace completely wrong.
Without this work, you keep earning more and feeling less. You keep hitting milestones that don't stick. You keep being the strong one until you run out of strength.
Common Questions
Everything you were about to Google.
Yes, and then some. Financial therapy is a specialized field that sits at the intersection of financial planning and therapeutic practice. There was no blueprint for this when I started. So I built one. I hold a Certified Financial Therapist (CFT) certification, am a licensed CPA with 15+ years in finance, and maintain ongoing continuing education in both fields. Nothing like this existed. So I built it. For you, for me, for us.
Both, and we are very excited about both. All sessions are currently virtual, which means you can do this work in your car, your office, your favorite chair, wherever you feel most like yourself. And because we know outside is open, our flagship in-person office is coming soon to Atlanta, GA. A real space, designed for this work, where showing up in person will actually give you a reason to get dressed. Stay close.
Absolutely not. Most of our clients are doing well on paper. They have the income, the career, the business, and still feel like something is off. You don't need to be broke to benefit from this work. You just need to be honest that the numbers alone haven't fixed how you feel about money. That's enough.
A coach gives you a plan. Financial therapy asks why you haven't followed the plan you already know. We go underneath the strategy. Into the beliefs, patterns, and emotional histories that drive every financial decision you make. Coaching helps you set goals. Financial therapy helps you figure out why you keep undermining them.
We talk, but not the way you expect. There's no worksheet, no lecture, no judgment. I ask questions that get to what's actually going on. Sometimes we look at numbers. Sometimes we don't touch numbers at all. Every session follows your lead and the LACUNA Method™, a framework built to locate the gap, name the pattern, and move you toward financial and emotional peace. Most clients leave a session with something they didn't have words for before.
We are actively exploring FSA and HSA eligibility pathways in Georgia and will update this as those options become available. Insurance is not currently accepted. If you have questions about payment options before booking, reach out before your consultation and we'll work through it together.
Because one session won't do what you came here for. Financial patterns took years, sometimes generations, to form. One conversation can name it. Consistent work changes it. Biweekly sessions create the continuity needed for real pattern interruption. You can always do more. But two sessions a month is the minimum we believe in enough to offer.
Then we say so, and that's okay. The consultation exists for exactly this reason. No pressure, no awkwardness. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you honestly and where possible, point you toward someone who is. This work only works when the trust is real. We would rather lose the booking than start something that isn't built on that.
