Raymond Edward Killips, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Raymond Edward!

I offer a grounded, compassionate space where individuals can do the deep work of healing, growth, and recovery. Whether you're navigating life transitions, working through past pain, or seeking greater clarity and connection, this is a place to be seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

My focus

If you're working through life transitions, emotional challenges, or simply seeking a new way forward, I offer a space that is kind, compassionate, and focused on your unique path. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way, identify what's most important to you, and build a plan that feels realistic and empowering.

My approach

My approach integrates Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize what's working, shift unhelpful thinking, and build practical options for moving forward.

My communication style

I prioritize open, clear communication that is respectful, validating, and nonjudgmental. At the heart of my work is a commitment to active listening—creating space for you to share your story in your own words, at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

As a veteran, I bring both lived insight and clinical depth to my work as a therapist. My time working in recovery has shown me the strength it takes to seek help and the transformation that's possible when people feel truly heard and supported.

My goals for you

I believe therapy works best when it's built on mutual respect, trust, and shared purpose. Together, we'll identify your goals, set a course that feels realistic and meaningful, and adjust as needed throughout the therapeutic process. Your voice, values, and lived experience are central to our work.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll take time to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and begin shaping a path forward—together. There's no pressure to have it all figured out. We'll take it one step at a time, at a pace that feels right for you.
