Jennifer Ray

My communication style

I ensure my patients feel heard and validated in their unique experiences. I help patients with coping skills and gaining a new perspective on difficult situations.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love listening to people and being a constant in their life. I don’t shy away from difficult situations or emotions. I feel like I have a calming and comfortable presence. I am constantly learning about therapy techniques to help my patients.

My goals for you

I prefer to ask patients what a value-based life looks like for them. What areas of their life need improvement? I ask patients to focus their goals on four areas: leisure, relationships, health, and career/education.

Our first session

The first session can be the most emotional because it takes a lot to ask for help. I will ask various questions about psychiatric, medical, and personal history. This is necessary to formulate a diagnosis (if there is one). I will give education on what to expect from treatment.
