Why would you choose Dr. Ray for his services?
I offer a free initial phone consultation. This is a way for you to see if we have good chemistry. I feel that the most important aspect of the therapeutic alliance is the relationship. YOU SHOULD LIKE YOUR COACH/THERAPIST:)
Are you experiencing no improvement, clarity, or insight with your current therapist? Traditional talk-therapies primarily focus on the process rather than on results. However, if you desire to experience new changes/solutions, the techniques I use are aimed toward positive changes in your consciousness/life.
I use an alternative approach to working through challenges. Unlike many western approaches of being diagnosed with a clinical disorder or being prescribed medication, I see “you” as a whole person and believe that most symptoms/behaviors can subside by addressing the subconscious mind.
Talking about the problems and uncovering the psychological reasons behind how a problem manifested is only the first step in developing positive changes. I work to resolve the emotional charge that drive these problems so a client actually feels better and is able to change her behavior. I believe that there is a spiritual awakening to healing that a client must experience to feel complete resolution.
The duration of treatment is usually brief compared to traditional talk-therapies. This saves time, money, and energy. Secondly, you are coming to me for help to feel better and see new positive changes in your life. I expect to see those changes, even if they are subtle, within a brief period.
I use a three-stage protocol: past, present, and future to produce long-term resolution. A client usually comes into therapy with a presenting problem. I address the current problem along with its roots. I also help clients to incorporate new positive tools to handle the future in a healthier and more positive way. My three-stage protocol creates long lasting results that put you in control of your life. I guide my clients to be independent and empowered through the process. I provide free audio CDs, DVDs, and additional information and techniques as part of post-treatment.
I have had success with clients who could be considered more challenging. Some clients put up walls, resistance, and other defenses that would stifle most practitioners. I am always able to find creative ways to subdue defenses and resistance and use them in ways that are productive in therapy. I’ve learned many techniques to help attain your goals.
The environment where you unravel your feelings should feel safe. My office and location has a cozy and safe atmosphere. It has a non-clinical feeling to it and is close to a park and the beach in Santa Monica. Finding parking is usually easy.
My business hours are Monday – Friday 10am to 9pm and alternative Saturdays 10am to 3pm. These hours are set up to accommodate any schedule.
I love what I do! Every session is a privilege for me to join you on your journey into happiness.
"I've had counseling on and off for over twenty years. I experienced more changes in just 3 sessions than I did with prior counseling." Amy T. (West Hollywood, CA)
"All I ever felt I was doing in prior treatment was talking about the same things over and over again without any significant changes. My first session with Ray made a positive impact on my life." B. Cantrell (San Diego, CA)
"Other counselors said I was always in my head and not able to connect with emotions. I never understood that until I worked with Dr. Ray." W.P. (Los Angeles, CA)
"I seemed to keep hitting a wall over the same issue without any resolution. In just a few sessions, I was able to connect and resolve my issue." B. Memmott (Santa Monica, CA)
"I became a skeptic of most therapies because I didn't have good experiences in the past. My experience with Dr. Ray made me a believer. My employees and I noticed changes immediately." Bob G. (Los Angeles, CA)

What is hypnosis, hypnotherapy and past life therapy?
When you hear the word “Hypnosis”, you might think of mind control. Most misconceptions about hypnosis have been created by stage hypnotists who get a participant from the audience to bark like a dog or by movies where it is a tool of vampires, evil doctors or criminals.
Hypnosis works with the power of the subconscious mind to change habits and behaviors. The subconscious mind is considered to be the source or root of many of our behaviors, emotions, attitudes, and motivations. Dr. Ray utilizes hypnotherapy in conjunction with other tools to access the subconscious mind to create improvements in your life.
Being hypnotized is like being in a trance or a special state of the mind in which the body is relaxed and the mind is able to pay attention to inner experiences without criticism or judgment. During hypnotherapy sessions, clients remain completely aware of everything that is going on. In fact many people experience a hyper-awareness where sensations are perceived enriched and vivid. The ability to visualize and imagine is enhanced. Deep relaxation is common. The use of hypnosis could elicit memories of past events which may or may not be literally true. The goal in hypnotherapy is not to verify truth or facts, but help bring a client in touch with better feelings and insight.
Hypnosis is not mind control. No one under hypnosis can be induced to do anything against his or her will. Whatever moral and ethical codes you hold in a normal waking state will still be in place under hypnosis. You will remember everything you experienced. Dr. Ray is a hypnotherapist who always checks in with you during the process to make sure you feel safe.
Dr. Ray provides past-life therapy for those of you who believe in reincarnation or are just curious. Past-life therapy can be very helpful in addressing an array of issues. He uses the Netherton Method to facilitate past-life therapy. Pioneer therapist Dr. Morris Netherton developed the technique in the early 1960s.
Sometimes our problems feel and sound infinite as if we have experienced them before in another lifetime. Our experiences feel like déjà vu and that we are paying karmic debt without knowing what we are purchasing. In therapy or life, you might come up with these questions: How did I end up with my parents? Why was I born in these circumstances? Did old karma play a role in my challenges? And what about the soul? Past-life therapy gives us the opportunity to explore and understand unfinished business.
A belief in reincarnation is not necessary for Past-Life therapy to be effective. As long as one works with the process, the mind will function whether or not one believes in reincarnation. We are not trying to prove theory, doctrine, truth or facts. Call it past-lives, dreams, fantasies, symbols, synchronicities or what you will; we are all multi-dimensional beings with a myriad of unconscious material.
Many past life therapists only focus on past lives. Dr. Ray is a past life therapist who also integrates past events in your current life. It allows the integration process to flow more easily and for a client to understand his past life correlation with his present life.
We were not all given a manual on how to deal with life changes. Dr. Ray helps supply new tools to better your life and to produce positive changes.

Emotional Congruence and Transference in Therapy
Last updated by Ray on 05/10/2008 12:44 PM (Read: 6264 times)
Carl Rogers (1902-1987) felt that all humanity has one basic motivational force - a tendency toward actualization. The way we receive regards from others is the way we are going to regard ourselves. If an individual receives unconditional regard, the individual will have a positive self-regard for his or herself. An infant is believed to have one basic motivational force - the tendency toward self-actualization, which is compared to organisms trying to develop to their full capacity.

How We Have Come To Be

Why do we attract unhealthy relationships over and over again? Why do we feel like we are not good enough? Why do we feel like we are lacking something no matter how much money or love we receive? Why do things feel unfulfilled despite our accomplishments? Why do we develop unhealthy habits or addictions? Why is our behavior out of control sometimes? Why do we feel insecure even though we know we are loved or supported? Why are we always having health issues? Why do more obstacles seem to keep surfacing?

The Annihilation of Anger in Western Civilization
Last updated by Ray on 05/10/2008 12:35 PM (Read: 1480 times)
The more repressed/oppressed a culture is, the more daimonic possession seems to lurk. What is this encapsulated psychic energy that becomes blocked and repressed? Does an individual’s dualistic belief about himself (e.g., I am good or bad) produce splitting of the personality causing character traits such as devaluation, idealization, and denial?
