Getting to know Catherine Ray
Is your heart: Broken? Lost? Stuck? Did a divorce or the end of a romantic relationship cause it? Have you experienced a toxic relationship? Or have you experienced death by suicide, homicide, overdose, or pet loss? Utilizing my education in grief therapy, my profession as a Hospice Social Worker for 18 years, and my own experience with losses has given me a deeper understanding of, and insight, into bereavement.
Areas of focus include anticipatory grief, traumatic death, loss of health, grief anxiety, and life transitions. Grief Therapy is short-term with a clear focus on goals, utilizing strategies and techniques from a range of different therapeutic practices to meet grievers where they are and offer an impactful learning experience. Grief is the natural response to loss, and it doesn't have a time limit. Grief doesn't go away completely, but we change our relationship to it. You can expect reading and homework assignments for each session to assist in the therapeutic process. I have been trained in Complicated Grief Treatment, and EMDR, I am a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist, a Certified Grief Counseling Specialist, a Fellow in Thanatology, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
My goal for each therapeutic relationship is to encourage authenticity and support individual strengths and goals in a safe, empathic, and nonjudgemental environment. I am here as a guide to help you navigate and teach you how to cope with the loss, with supportive guidance every step of the way. I focus on promoting healing milestones and addressing stuck points in adapting to loss using active listening and personalized interventions with specific tools to help you cope with the loss.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Something to know about my approach is that you will be required to complete the short weekly homework assignments. This gives us a platform to help guide your next session and continue to work toward our stated goals outlined in your first session.
Together, we will work through your current grief. We may need to delve into your past relationships in order to make progress with your current grief situation. This discussion may occasionally be uncomfortable, but it is necessary.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My goal for each therapeutic relationship is to encourage authenticity and support individual strengths and goals in a safe, empathic, and nonjudgemental environment. I am here as a guide to help you navigate and teach you how to cope with the loss, with supportive guidance every step of the way. I focus on promoting healing milestones and addressing stuck points in adapting to loss using active listening and personalized interventions with specific tools to help you cope with the loss.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $125 for 53 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
