About Paige Raskin
About Paige Raskin
Paige Raskin is a Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter, therapist (under supervision), women's empowerment coach, social worker, mental health advocate, and creative entrepreneur whose work explores the intersection of psychology, music, human behavior, and the power of finding and reclaiming one's voice.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Paige has always been fascinated by the complexities of the human experience: why we become who we become, how our relationships shape us, what we do to survive, and what happens when we begin questioning the stories we've been told about ourselves.
Her work is rooted in the belief that our voices are among the most powerful instruments we possess. Whether through music, relationships, advocacy, or self-expression, finding one's voice is not simply about learning how to speak. It is about learning how to listen to oneself, recognize one's own truth, and develop the courage to express it, even when doing so is uncomfortable.
For Paige, psychology and music have never existed separately. Both are ways of exploring the human condition, making meaning out of difficult experiences, and connecting with parts of ourselves and others that are not always easy to articulate.
Psychology, Education & Advocacy
Paige earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Southern California (USC), where she studied close relationships, motivated behaviors and addiction, clinical psychology, trauma, mindfulness, and somatic practices, including kundalini yoga and meditation. She later received her Master of Social Work (MSW) and is currently pursuing licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
During her time at USC, Paige worked as a research assistant in Dr. Thomas D. Lyon's Child Interviewing Lab, examining factors influencing disclosure and recantation among child and adolescent survivors of physical and sexual abuse. This experience deepened her interest in the psychological, interpersonal, and environmental factors that influence whether individuals feel safe enough to speak about their experiences and have their voices heard.
She also served as a marketing assistant for MindfulUSC, helping share mindfulness and meditation practices with the university community, and volunteered as Director of Advocacy for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), supporting efforts to reduce stigma and increase mental health awareness.
Her professional and academic interests include addiction, trauma, attachment, interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, identity, and the ways individuals adapt to their environments in order to survive, belong, and maintain connection.
As a social worker, Paige has worked with women navigating substance use disorders, mental health challenges, relational difficulties, and significant life transitions. She currently works part-time as an intensive outpatient (IOP) therapist at a women's addiction treatment center.
Paige is also currently involved in academic research examining burnout and coping among private practice psychotherapists, reflecting her interest in the emotional experiences of those who dedicate their lives to helping others. Paige is currently preparing a manuscript for publication in the Clinical Social Work Journal.
Music: Giving a Voice to the Human Experience
In addition to her academic and professional work, Paige is a singer-songwriter creating pop music for people in pain.
Drawing from her background in psychology, social work, and her own lived experiences, Paige creates music that blends confessional storytelling, emotional vulnerability, introspective dialogue, and psychological depth.
Uninterested in presenting herself as perfectly healed, Paige uses songwriting to explore the contradictions of being human. Her music examines trauma, grief, addiction, betrayal, love, attachment, maladaptive coping patterns, and the parts of ourselves we sometimes struggle to acknowledge.
She is particularly interested in exploring the shadow side of human behavior: the thoughts, feelings, impulses, and experiences that people often conceal out of fear, shame, or judgment.
Rather than dividing people into categories of good and bad, healthy and unhealthy, or healed and unhealed, Paige approaches the human experience with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths.
Her debut EP, A Place to Fix Me, released in September 2024, documents her journey toward sobriety, self-discovery, and the awakening of her inner healer. Rooted in recovery, self-remembrance, and emotional truth, the project reflects the messy, nonlinear nature of personal transformation.
For Paige, songwriting is both an artistic practice and a means of reclaiming her voice. It allows her to give language and melody to experiences that once felt impossible to express.
Her songs are not intended to tell listeners what to think or how to feel. Instead, they invite listeners to recognize themselves in the music, explore their own emotional worlds, and find connection through shared vulnerability.
Paige is currently working on her debut album, continuing to explore the relationship between psychological insight, creative expression, and emotional honesty.
Women's Empowerment: Reclaiming Your Voice
Through Paige Raskin Coaching, Paige works with women who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and begin reconnecting with their own voices, identities, ambitions, and desires.
Her coaching is particularly oriented toward women who have experienced difficult or unhealthy relationships, narcissistic abuse, betrayal, people-pleasing, self-doubt, or patterns of prioritizing other people's needs, emotions, and expectations at the expense of their own.
Paige recognizes that many women become exceptionally skilled at understanding other people. They learn to anticipate reactions, recognize emotional shifts, accommodate discomfort, and analyze the behaviors of those around them.
Yet somewhere along the way, they may lose touch with their own needs, boundaries, intuition, creativity, and sense of direction.
They become experts on everyone else while remaining strangers to themselves.
Paige believes that self-awareness is valuable, but insight alone does not always translate into meaningful change.
Understanding why someone hurt you is not the same as knowing what you want for yourself. Recognizing a pattern is not the same as making a different choice. And knowing your worth intellectually is not always the same as living in alignment with it.
Paige's approach to empowerment extends beyond recovering from difficult relationships or recognizing patterns of self-abandonment. She is equally passionate about what comes next: the freedom to dream, create, build, contribute, and pursue a life that feels authentically one's own.
Her work emphasizes self-trust, personal responsibility, boundaries, creativity, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and intentional action. She believes that reclaiming one's voice is not simply about speaking up for oneself, but about developing the confidence to participate fully in one's own life.
Drawing from her interdisciplinary background and creative practices, Paige supports women in identifying the ways they may have silenced themselves, reconnecting with what matters to them, and developing the confidence to make choices that reflect their values.
Her bespoke coaching approach integrates somatic voice work, mindfulness, Reiki, songwriting, creative self-expression, personal development education, and entrepreneurial insights. Rather than approaching empowerment through a single lens, Paige recognizes that finding one's voice can involve the mind, body, creativity, relationships, and the freedom to imagine a different future.
Designed as a highly personalized, premium coaching experience, each engagement is tailored to the individual woman, her ambitions, her values, and the life she wants to create.
For Paige, reclaiming one's voice is not necessarily about becoming louder, more assertive, or more outspoken.
Sometimes it means saying no without overexplaining. Sometimes it means admitting what you really want. Sometimes it means allowing yourself to be misunderstood. And sometimes it means pursuing a dream that no longer fits the version of you other people have come to expect.
The goal is not to become someone else. It is to stop abandoning the person you already are while giving yourself permission to become whoever you want to be.
Paige Raskin Coaching provides personal development and women's empowerment coaching, not psychotherapy or mental health treatment. Coaching does not include mental health diagnosis or clinical treatment and is not a substitute for individualized care from a licensed mental health professional.
Creativity, Entrepreneurship & the Freedom to Become
Beyond music and coaching, Paige is passionate about entrepreneurship, creative collaboration, education, and building opportunities that bring people together.
Since graduating from USC in 2021, she has supported therapists, social workers, and addiction treatment organizations through executive assistance, administrative consulting, marketing, and business development.
She continues to provide independent creative and business support services while developing her own artistic and entrepreneurial projects.
Her interests extend across music, writing, psychology, spirituality, mindfulness, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and the transformative possibilities of creative expression. Across these pursuits, Paige is particularly interested in how individuals discover their voices, develop a sense of agency, and use their unique gifts to contribute to the world around them.
Rather than viewing her different pursuits as separate identities, Paige sees them as interconnected expressions of the same curiosity: what does it mean to live authentically, and what becomes possible when we give ourselves permission to explore who we are?
She is particularly drawn to the relationship between creativity and personal agency. The process of writing a song, starting a business, setting a boundary, or sharing an unpopular truth can require a similar willingness to tolerate uncertainty, confront fear, and trust one's own perspective.
To Paige, finding your voice is not a destination. It is an ongoing practice of self-discovery, expression, and becoming.
The Mission: Finding Our Voices, Together
At the heart of Paige's work is the belief that every person has an inner world worthy of exploration and a voice worthy of expression.
She understands that finding that voice can be complicated. Our experiences shape what we believe we are allowed to say, feel, want, and become. Sometimes we learn to silence ourselves to maintain connection. Other times we become so focused on being understood that we forget to understand ourselves.
But our experiences do not have to determine the limits of our identities or our futures.
Through music, coaching, advocacy, research, and creative collaboration, Paige hopes to encourage others to examine their lives with curiosity, challenge the narratives that no longer serve them, and reconnect with their capacity for choice, expression, and meaningful change.
She believes that our voices can be instruments of creativity, connection, advocacy, and personal freedom.
And that learning to use them is not always about having something profound to say.
Sometimes it is simply about no longer being afraid to tell the truth about who we are.
You do not have to make yourself smaller to be loved, understood, or accepted.
Your voice belongs to you.
