Dr. Jeannine Ray

Hi there, I'm Jeannine!

Hello- my name is Jeannine Ray. I have 18 years of experience working with individuals and families as a family therapist and behavior analyst. I completed my Ph.D. and hold a doctorate in Health Psychology and Behavioral Medicine and am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California. I have a master’s degree in counseling psychology and hold a license as an Independent Marriage and Family Therapist in Ohio and as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Additionally, I have advanced education, training, and experience in Applied Behavior Analysis and hold certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

My approach

My counseling style is warm and interactive and is grounded in wellness and pragmatism with a client-focused, strength-based approach. I employ an empathic, direct, and practical counseling style, using a wide range of evidence-based tools to make our time most meaningful and enhance your everyday life concerns. I view clients through a developmental lens and use an eclectic approach from an evidence-based perspective, and meet people where they are and with techniques and interventions to best match their unique needs and experiences. This includes skillful and strategic use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), object relations, family systems, Gestalt, and narrative therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), with an individualized, person-centered focus and psychodynamic/existential theoretical framework.

My goals for you

I have worked extensively with individuals, groups, and families. While helping people develop tools and skills to empower them and help them achieve their goals, I support people through their process and share their journey. Please let me know what you want to achieve through the therapy experience (such as working on long-term issues that may go back to childhood or a very direct treatment plan for a specific concern, such as lifestyle changes, a particular phobia, or social anxiety). I bring a wealth of practical and academic knowledge to the practice of psychology and seek to build a collaborative bond with clients in order to work together to achieve better mental health.
