Jeff Ray
Hello, Are you or your children dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, trauma or loss. If so, I want to help. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 33 years of counseling experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including acute hospitalization, residential treatment, community mental health, agency services and private practice. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults and parents.
For parents struggling with their child's behavior, I offer parenting sessions to help eliminate tantrums/meltdowns and improve behavior in the home, school and day care.
I work to help clients develop coping skills to manage their symptoms, find meaning in life and improve functioning at home, school, work, and the community. I use a positive, solution focused and skills based approach to therapy in a comfortable, casual setting. I strive to make clients feel comforted and supported during sessions.
First session
During the first session, we will explore the reasons you are coming to therapy and discuss your desired outcomes from therapy. We will gather information on your mental health history and current status, look at ways your mental health is impacting your daily life, and develop treatment goals to lead us on our path.
Strengths
My biggest strengths are helping clients feel comfortable while addressing negative thought processes and finding more positives and gratitude in life. I have developed my own tools to help clients reduce anger and improve mood and to help children self-monitor and improve their behavior. My unique, casual approach helps build rapport and helps clients feel more comfortable.
Ideal clients
While I can see clients of any age, most of my practice has been children, adolescents and young adults who make up about 75% of my practice. I work best with anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, trauma and grief. I also work well with foster children and their families.
