Getting to know Amelia Ray

Hi there, I'm Amelia! My name is Amelia Ray, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University. I am a client-centered therapist; I believe each individual holds the power to make the changes they seek through receiving therapy. I specialize in helping those with depression, anxiety, social interactions, relationships, and those on the autism spectrum. My approach I use a combination of approaches tailored to suit each client's individual needs. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate the SMART Recovery curriculum to address addictive behaviors. My focus I typically work with clients experiencing challenges with relationships and family, self-image and self-esteem, confidence, and managing stress, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I have extensive experience supporting those with social challenges and/or on the autism spectrum. My communication style I like to make clients feel comfortable by providing space for them to be themselves and to feel acknowledged, listened to, and understood. Therapy is a vulnerable experience and a brave endeavor, and I strive to create a space that allows each person to feel positive about their decision to attend therapy. My journey to therapy I have always had a passion for psychology; I find the human experience incredibly interesting. It is also quite difficult at times, and there is much need for support when it comes to mental health. I enjoy helping people solve conflicts, come to resolutions, and be the best versions of themselves. My goals for you I encourage clients to consider the areas they would like to address and the priorities they have for therapy. I provide guidance, skills, and techniques that are led by the client.
