I’ve had a wonderful experience working with dr ray. His approach is much different than your typical therapist. He is very knowledgeable, open, honest and patient. I would recommend him to anyone that’s going through a difficult time or looking to improve their life

Dr. Doktor is a breath of fresh air and a light of positive alignment within what could be challenging conversations.

I sought out working with Dr. Doktor after a breakup and he guided me to invaluable insights that propelled me towards being the man I knew I was and the one I knew I wanted to show up as in future relationships.

Without his support, guidance and insights I wouldn’t have the fulfilling relationship I have today.

Thank you, Dr. Doktor !

Dr. Ray is so very talented in pin-pointing the very root cause behind what holds me back. On our very first session he knew exactly where I needed help without me even needing to explain much. He connects the dots very quickly. During the sessions I always feel like I connect deeply with my emotions. I walk away feeling like I've released something I don't need but also have replaced it with something positive - and no two sessions are ever the same. I really enjoy Dr. Ray's approach that takes me more to where I want to be rather than dwelling where I don't. I highly recommend his services!!

Dr. Ray is one-of-a-kind. He comes from a place of genuine care for his patients and prioritizes your results over your business like no therapist or coach that I’ve known before. In my experience, he is able to draw profound conclusions about my patterns from a brief conversation. What I most appreciate is that he pushes you to see what you need to see about your behavior and generously provides from a seemingly endless supply of useful resources for any challenge. Working with Dr Ray is one of the best decisions I could have made for myself and I would recommend him to anyone who is curious or stuck.

Having only begun working together a little under 3 months ago, Ray has already helped me find some much needed clarity and direction in my life. The way he is able to intently listen to everything I have to say, succinctly sum up what I've been struggling to put into words or thought, and then offer a spin on how to look at it in a way that immediately provides an insightful revelation that helps provide lucidity or solve the situation is incredible.

I am the happiest I've been since I can remember and have accomplished things in my personal and professional life that I could never have imagined within this short period of time. Not only am I really enjoying and cherishing the present, but Ray has helped me lay a path to where I want to be headed that truly excites me -- I am eager to get up each day. Every session ends with a smile on my face that remains long after and having the ability to watch them again is so valuable.

I couldn't be more grateful to have started working with Dr. Ray and look forward to see what the future will hold as I continue to do so.

I started working with Dr. Ray last month to get some clarity before going to an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. He was able to clarify some of the events in my past that I've been holding on to with a death grip. At 57-years old I was carrying around a narrative about the trauma I endured during the first six months of my life, using that as an excuse to see myself as "damaged goods."

Dr. Ray encouraged me to use this and other traumatic experiences as a "bridge to grow" into a better me instead of a "wall to block" and stay stuck in my story. I was like someone carrying around a 50-pound boulder, wondering why I couldn't get anywhere and waiting for the boulder to let me go.

During my Ayahuasca retreat I learned so much about myself and Dr. Ray's advice during our sessions helped me achieve many breakthroughs. Upon my return from Peru Dr. Ray was able to jump right in and help me integrate these breakthroughs into my life back here in "The Real World."

He has recommended several exercises to help release negative energy, disrupt damaging thought patterns and allow me to connect to the positive vibes that I easily experience through the love of my two sons.

Dr. Ray is not your typical therapist. He is not set up for years and years and years of analysis. Instead, he quickly grasps the thought patterns that are bringing you down and offers real world solutions you can put into place immediately.

I look forward to each session and feel like he really has my back. He is also accessible in between sessions and will often send me messages to remind me of concepts we discussed or to clarify a topic that I struggled to understand.

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Ray at the time that I did. To me, finding a Life Coach or therapist that you truly connect with is crucial to the success of any therapy program. Thank you, Dr. Ray for being there for me! I feel more hopeful and optimistic about my future than I have in a very long time. I am looking forward to seeing what else I can discover about myself and where I go from here. I could not recommend you more highly!

Doktor Ray has been an absolute light in my life. He has helped me discover things about myself that I didn't even realize. Life is filled with people who tell you what you want to hear, and Doktor Ray is someone who tells you what you need to hear. As an entrepreneur it's easy to get overwhelmed with work and lose touch with certain things. Doktor Ray has helped me tap back into that awareness. Above all else, he has been a great advisor through challenges with my business. Sometimes you need a guide to help you make sure you're making smart decisions and not just emotional decisions. He's helped me achieve that.
