Getting to know Dr. Bruce Rays

Seasoned Licensed Clinical Psychologist with 38 years of experience offering trauma-informed, evidence-based, and holistic mental health care. I demonstrate expertise in telehealth, behavioral assessments, and diverse clinical settings including 25 years at UCLA Medical Center; Malibu Holistic Center; private hospitals, multiple Ventura and LA county dual- diagnosis residential treatment centers; Dept. of Corrections- Prisons and a State Psychiatric Hospital. Eager to contribute my vast experience in integrative therapeutic skills with a unconditional positive regard for you. You are the Captain of this ship and I am your compass.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When we meet you will quickly feel my calmness and state of tranquility, that is, if you have the ability to feel what is directly in front of you. Most do and become free from agitation, excitement or disturbance. My customers experience calmness, peacefulness, sereneness in session. Creative visualizations may produce in the theater of your mind, inspirations and paths you may want o explore further in this dense 3D reality when your session concludes. Answers to questions you have been obsessively seeking may spring up before you magically. You are my valued guest and all we do is 115% All You. You are the Captain of your ship and I will give my all in being your compass. If we move off course we will renegotiate your direction. In my 79 years as a Healer there is not much I haven't seen. You can rest assure that you will receive unconditional positive regard regardless of where you have been, who you are and whatever situation you are struggling with during the night-time or during your day-time life. As you begin to trust me and feel more open you can tell me anything that happened in your past, present or that your worried may be in your future. Our relationship is unique, private, elevating and above all-SAFE.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I do not have an agenda when I meet someone for the first time. I go with the flow with what is present. Yes, I do wish to know what it is that brought you in, but only if you are ready to speak of it. This is all about you and I will meet you where you are, on your terms.
