Getting to know Ray Ann Sherley

Hi there, I'm Ray Ann! My name is Ray Ann Sherley, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #146056) with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University (HIU). I am passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families through relationship and mental health challenges. My technique helps clients identify their inner strengths to navigate life with more ease. My approach I use various modalities to meet your needs, with a collaborative approach to therapy that increases your insight and problem-solving capacity. Theoretical approaches I use include cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory, EMDR, and IFS. I am trauma-informed and tailor my approach to center around you. My focus I support individuals and couples through relationship and mental health challenges. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, managing stress, communication challenges, high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, and ADHD. My communication style My goal is to create an environment that feels safe and comfortable. I am empathetic, kind, supportive, and intentionally challenge clients to foster growth. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up in a multi-racial family where mental health was not discussed, vulnerability was viewed negatively, and communication was limited. When I began experiencing my own challenges, I sought therapy, and my life was changed. I learned healthy tools that transformed my life and influenced my family and loved ones. My goal is to end mental health stigma and provide a supportive setting for others on their healing journey. My goals for you I will work with you to develop goals and a plan centered around you. My first session with you The first session will focus on gathering information about you and understanding your needs and goals.
