Kristin Ray, LPC

Kristin Ray is a trauma-informed therapist who works collaboratively with clients to address anxiety, sadness, and the intrusive thoughts that can hold people back. She prioritizes listening first and then partners with each person to reframe unhelpful thinking, identify practical coping strategies, and revive the interests and energy that matter most. Her approach centers on encouraging clients to define their goals so therapy aligns with what they want to change and how they want to grow.

She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and is an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - which indicates formal licensure to provide mental health care. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy used to process traumatic memories, and is an approved provider of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured approach for addressing trauma-related symptoms. Kristin integrates these trainings with client-centered principles to create treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs.

Kristin focuses on reducing anxious feelings and persistent sadness while teaching coping skills that fit into everyday life. She takes a respectful, collaborative stance in sessions and supports clients who want to return to a previous level of functioning or move toward a different future. Kristin communicates with warmth and encouragement and aims to help people unlock their potential and regain a sense of balance.
