Special Business Hours

October Vacation Announcement

Dr. Ray will be away the last two weeks of October for a “Bucket List” trip. The phones and emails will NOT be available until 10/29. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Also, as a heads up (starting JAN 1st 2025) Dr. Ray will only be seeing clients by way of TeleHealth video communications. Hopefully this gives everyone enough time to find alternate care if TeleHealth is not the form of contact they feel they need.

Thank you for understanding.
Dr. Ray Smith

Counseling Services
• Marriage Counseling: Our close relationship with our husband or wife changes over the years. Difficult events and situations can add stress that is hard to overcome; these are the times when we most need to be able to talk with our marriage partner. Counseling can help us talk with each other, strengthening the marriage bonds, helping each other through these life situations… giving the marriage renewed power and deeper love and understanding, while giving us more faith in our ability to face future challenges.

• Family Counseling: Families are dynamic units with close contact between members. Events, both internal and external, can have a deep impact on the family unit, giving rise to issues and feelings that are best resolved through counseling that involves the whole family.

• Teen Counseling: I enjoy working with teenagers; teens have amazing energies, fresh views and teens often know more than we adults give them credit for. Living in our modern world, teens can have conflicting ideas and feelings that are difficult to sort through. By providing a safe environment and a willing and informed ear, I can help a teenager find a path that leads to satisfying answers and the development of good decision making skills.

• Group Counseling: Groups can often benefit from counseling that is designed to help individuals communicate. It is easy for the workplace to become clogged with miscommunications. This leads to inefficiencies and lower morale, dragging down the productivity of the business. By establishing clear communication and workplace boundaries, obstacles to production are lessened or removed and the work force functions better as a unit.

• Insurance: I accept most insurances and employee assistance plans for solution-based counseling.
