A bit about my approach to therapy

While versed in treating a variety of psychological conditions, Dr. Gray has a particular passion for helping clients struggling with issues related to depression and anxiety, spiritual concerns, and anger. Dr. Gray continues to provide psychotherapy to individuals and conceptualizes client challenges from a Cognitive theoretical orientation while using interventions from a variety of models.

What you can expect from our first session

Dr. Gray works to establish a collaborative relationship with his clients, integrating both humor and theory into his conversation and interventions. His focus is on helping his clients meet their goals first, and his treatment goals for them second. But the focus is always on the client's needs. When clients feel empowered and filled with useful insight, then one important metric of success has been met.
