Getting to know Alvin Ray

My name is A. Chad Ray, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) from the Volunteer State of Tennessee. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree from East Tennessee State University. I am licensed in both Virginia and Tennessee and see clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults who experience anxiety, stress, addiction, and insomnia. To help clients achieve their clinical goals, I utilize Solution Oriented Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Systems Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My approach to therapy is holistic and tailored to fit each individual client’s goals in treatment. I have integrated these therapeutic approaches to provide evidence-based treatment options that address each client’s unique needs. Because every client is different, I prioritize customizing therapy to support their personal growth and healing. I have found that my clinical style and approach are a great fit for adults struggling with anxiety, stress, addiction, and insomnia. My goal is to help clients develop clearly defined goals and make lasting progress in their daily lives. My communication style is calm, centered, and curious. I want each client to know that I listen with respect and truly understand their concerns. I decided to become a therapist because I enjoy helping and understanding others. I have always been curious about why people think and behave the way they do, and I take great satisfaction in helping people problem-solve and find solutions to their challenges. When setting goals with clients, I focus on developing a plan that respects each individual’s uniqueness and autonomy. Goals are reviewed periodically to ensure we remain on target or to adjust if the client’s priorities change.
