Hi, I'm Ray Brandon,

I believe that the counseling relationship is one of the safest places in the world to explore identity, relationships, and life struggles.  I work with couples to reengage their marital relationship and increase intimacy as they face parenting challenges.  My sessions can look like helping parents understand the influence of their role as husband, wife, dad, and mom to increase their family identity.  This can reduce negative influences on children and teens in the home.  I am experienced in helping husbands understand and compassionately support their wives with perinatal and other mood disorders.  My work with younger and older clients recovering from trauma has proven to be successful.  Some of my specialties are working with individuals who experience grief, loneliness, anger issues, obsessive-compulsive disorder, spiritual issues, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and men’s issues.  My treatment modalities are theologically informed from a Christian worldview and include cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy the Gottman method, family systems, motivational therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
