Jozalynne Ray, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jozalynne!

I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families struggling with anxiety, stress, major life changes, trauma, depression, anger, relationship problems, and family conflict. I believe therapy should be a safe space where I serve as a compassionate facilitator who listens without judgment and acknowledges your experiences.

My focus

I work with individuals, families, and couples. I have experience supporting a diverse population across a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, anger management, and life transitions.

My approach

As a client-centered therapist, I believe change occurs within relationships and that you have the power to find the best solutions for yourself. I work alongside you utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, or Solution Focused Therapy.

My communication style

Within our therapeutic relationship, you should feel free to be your authentic self. I provide a calm and inviting space where you can cry, laugh, yell, or express any emotion without fear of judgment. My goal is to create an environment where you feel heard and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

Life can be difficult and sometimes we get stuck feeling lost without hope for the future. I chose to be a therapist because I believe in the power of supporting others through their most challenging moments and creating a safe space where they feel heard, supported, and reassured that they are not alone.

My goals for you

I believe in your right to autonomy and that you have control over your treatment and goals. I work alongside you to identify areas in your life that you would like to explore, and I believe my primary role is to support you in discovering effective strategies to achieve those goals.

Our first session

During our initial session, you can expect to be welcomed into a safe space where you can feel secure sharing your experiences. The focus is on building therapeutic rapport as I ask questions to gain a better understanding of your experiences and explore the strengths that have supported you along the way.
