About me

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor, ( NCC) with other 30 years experience in both counseling and education. I started my professional career as an elementary special education teacher in the early 80's. I obtained my M.Ed in counselor Education in 1989 from the University of Arkansas and in 1989 I went to Alaska for the first time as along term substitute teacher. I worked in the Bering Strait School District, in Unalakleet, Alaska. I would return a year later, and work a total of 11 years as a teacher, itinerant school counselor, and village school principal in the district. I would go on to work in two other school districts before retiring from Alaska in 2004. After returning to Arkansas, and home, I worked as a kindergarten counselor in a center with 180 kids and 18 teachers. I fully retired in 2007. In 2009, I became a military and family life counselor and have been doing this for 10 years. My treatment approach is based on my training and my personality. I was trained in CCT and it fite my style, even though I so specialize in crisis counseling. I have found helping the client, and not necessarily directing the client is more effective for me. As I stated I specialize in crisis and PTSD counseling right now with the military, and their families.

Ray has been such a blessing. It has been so easy to start the counseling process with him and he has really helped me talk through some things. I would HIGHLY recommend him to ANYONE. He is so easy to get in touch with and his past experience is indicative of how good he is at this job. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Written on Mar 22, 2024 after therapy with Raymond for 2 months on issues concerning relationship

While I've spoken with a few different therapists (inside and outside of teencounseling.com), Raymond is one of my favorites. He is very personable, and has a lot of experience to draw from. Being in Alaska usually means that our experience is different than what others are used to, so it means a lot that he understands that side of our lives and how it impacts us as individuals and as a couple.

Written on Oct 28, 2021 after therapy with Raymond for 8 months on issues concerning self esteem

Speaking to Ray every week has become like speaking to a friend in a lot of ways, but a friend who has great advice and who looks out for me. I am really lonely in life and often don't have anyone to talk to about anything I am facing, and knowing that I can speak to Ray once a week really provides support and a point in the week where I can talk openly and honestly without fear of judgement. I'm grateful for Ray's relaxed and upbeat style where we can talk about anything from the weather or deep problems I'm facing. That means I don't find approaching sessions stressful, if I'm not in the mood for talking about deep emotional issues, we have a light hearted chat and that is great for my wellbeing.

After a couple unsuccessful matches with counsellors on here, I found Ray and I’m glad I had the opportunity to talk to him. He’s by far the best counsellor I’ve talked to. Really made me feel at ease despite everything I’m dealing with. Was very nice and compassionate in his approach. Really felt like talking to a friend I had known for years. He had the ability to break down the issue to a more sensible measure. I feel like things are more manageable now thanks to him.

Ray is a genius! I struggled for a while to find a counselor that I felt understood me. It was on my third attempt that I found Ray.

I highly recommend him!

Ray takes an unconventional approach to counselling by focusing on the relationship he has with you. For me, it’s perfect. He listens, he shares, and he offers. It’s more akin to speaking to a wise father or grandfather figure than it is the clinical style of therapist that many are useful.

Ray is warm, positive and almost like your personal cheerleader. He comes with a wealth of professional and personal life experience. I highly recommend him

I went into a therapy session on a whim after a very abuse relationship which then led to me divulging into serious alcohol abuse. Ray helped me tremendously using tactics such as telling stories where he could relate, while being comforting and open.

As a young man who has been trying to do things the "strong man" way, I was reluctant to even consider help.

I’ve only had a few sessions with Ray so far, but he has been the best therapist I have ever had the opportunity to talk with. He’s been helping me understand my thoughts, and actually understand why I think the way I do. Definitely like a breath of fresh air when I talk with him, and although sometimes I feel mentally drained after a session, it’s always been a better outlook and day when I finish my sessions.

Work with me!
