I've been seeing Dr Ray for a few months and he's been a godsend in helping me navigate challenging relationships both with other people and with myself. He's an incredible listener and not only got to the core of some of my deeper issues but he was able to do something that no other therapist or coach has been able to do - Identify the things that were holding me back and then guide me to overcome and conquer them. I'm now striving in ways I haven't in years. He was a force in getting me out of my own head. He did this in a few sessions by asking questions, really getting to know and understand me and then offering me suggestions and counsel that allowed me to figure it out organically. I'm going to make a commitment to keep getting counsel from him even when I'm doing well because I know that past habits and thoughts can invade at any moment. Having a professional like this in my life is a true reward for me and my family.

Having only begun working together a little under 3 months ago, Ray has already helped me find some much needed clarity and direction in my life. The way he is able to intently listen to everything I have to say, succinctly sum up what I've been struggling to put into words or thought, and then offer a spin on how to look at it in a way that immediately provides an insightful revelation that helps provide lucidity or solve the situation is incredible.

I am the happiest I've been since I can remember and have accomplished things in my personal and professional life that I could never have imagined within this short period of time. Not only am I really enjoying and cherishing the present, but Ray has helped me lay a path to where I want to be headed that truly excites me - I am eager to get up each day. Every session ends with a smile on my face that remains long after and having the ability to watch them again is so valuable.

I couldn't be more grateful to have started working with Dr. Ray and look forward to see what the future will hold as I continue to do so.

I started working with Dr. Ray last month to get some clarity before going to an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. He was able to clarify some of the events in my past that I've been holding on to with a death grip. At 57-years old I was carrying around a narrative about the trauma I endured during the first six months of my life, using that as an excuse to see myself as "damaged goods. "

Dr. Ray encouraged me to use this and other traumatic experiences as a "bridge to grow" into a better me instead of a "wall to block" and stay stuck in my story. I was like someone carrying around a 50-pound boulder, wondering why I couldn't get anywhere and waiting for the boulder to let me go.

During my Ayahuasca retreat I learned so much about myself and Dr. Ray's advice during our sessions helped me achieve many breakthroughs. Upon my return from Peru Dr. Ray was able to jump right in and help me integrate these breakthroughs into my life back here in "The Real World. "

He has recommended several exercises to help release negative energy, disrupt damaging thought patterns and allow me to connect to the positive vibes that I easily experience through the love of my two sons.

Dr. Ray is not your typical therapist. He is not set up for years and years and years of analysis. Instead, he quickly grasps the thought patterns that are bringing you down and offers real world solutions you can put into place immediately.

I look forward to each session and feel like he really has my back. He is also accessible in between sessions and will often send me messages to remind me of concepts we discussed or to clarify a topic that I struggled to understand.

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Ray at the time that I did. To me, finding a Life Coach or therapist that you truly connect with is crucial to the success of any therapy program. Thank you, Dr. Ray for being there for me! I feel more hopeful and optimistic about my future than I have in a very long time. I am looking forward to seeing what else I can discover about myself and where I go from here. I could not recommend you more highly!

When I first reached out to dr ray I thought I had an issue with not being in my feminine self and being too masculine energy but upon having my first session with dr ray we discovered it went much deeper than that and I was actually afraid of being vulnerable in romantic relationships. Something I never thought was going on, I needed that outside perspective in order to see that and make a positive change.

The unique thing about dr ray and what I really enjoyed is that he has this energy about him that makes you feel safe to open and share but so much so that you are sharing and words are coming out of your mouth just flowing doesn’t even feel like you are saying it but you have instant realizations right there from him wanting you to go further with what your are thinking and feeling and he really allows you to do that by holding space for you and it feels really nice.

Today I feel I no longer have fear when it comes to sharing what my insecurities are in romantic relationships and a huge thing for me as well I have gained the confidence and skills on how to communicate my fears, past traumas, insecurities, needs and boundaries to romantic partners. Dr ray really helped me figure out who I truly am and own every aspect of myself even the ones I didn’t like before. I feel very happy that I know who I am and I am not ashamed of it.

Doktor Ray has been an absolute light in my life. He has helped me discover things about myself that I didn't even realize. Life is filled with people who tell you what you want to hear, and Doktor Ray is someone who tells you what you need to hear. As an entrepreneur it's easy to get overwhelmed with work and lose touch with certain things. Doktor Ray has helped me tap back into that awareness. Above all else, he has been a great advisor through challenges with my business. Sometimes you need a guide to help you make sure you're making smart decisions and not just emotional decisions. He's helped me achieve that.

It was by pure chance through YouTube that I discovered Dr Ray and his work. During this time, I was facing numerious issues within myself that I was aware of and knew I had to fix somehow. Dr Ray guided me in creating a personally tailored mental blue print which I could refer to anytime I'd get myself in the same mental hole as i did before.

It's been a little over 1 month since our last session & my mental health and perspective on life has improved drastically, I feel present, confident and comfortable within my own body & mind.

If you want to be the best version of yourself, i'd 100% recommend Dr Ray's services.

For what he has done for me, i'll be forever greatfull.

Dr. Ray is one-of-a-kind. He comes from a place of genuine care for his patients and prioritizes your results over your business like no therapist or coach that I’ve known before. In my experience, he is able to draw profound conclusions about my patterns from a brief conversation. What I most appreciate is that he pushes you to see what you need to see about your behavior and generously provides from a seemingly endless supply of useful resources for any challenge. Working with Dr Ray is one of the best decisions I could have made for myself and I would recommend him to anyone who is curious or stuck.

Dr. Ray is the best coach! I’ve worked with others before and this has been by far the best and most impactful experience. He really helps you think about things in a different way, allowing for more peace and positivity to enter your life and mind. He has such a great way of explaining things to help you better understand yourself. He also offers great practices to better handle different situations to relieve any anxiety or stress. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ray is so very talented in pin-pointing the very root cause behind what holds me back. On our very first session he knew exactly where I needed help without me even needing to explain much. He connects the dots very quickly. During the sessions I always feel like I connect deeply with my emotions. I walk away feeling like I've released something I don't need but also have replaced it with something positive - and no two sessions are ever the same. I really enjoy Dr. Ray's approach that takes me more to where I want to be rather than dwelling where I don't. I highly recommend his services!

From my one on one session with Ray, it enabled to identify and make a major shift into a part of my life that I wasn’t really seeing. Ray is the real deal of cutting right to the core reasons behind things, and helping you to identify what next step you need to take.
