Dr. Amber Ray, PhD, IMFT-S, LPCC, aims to create a therapeutic environment where clients can explore new ways of feeling, thinking, and being. Her approach emphasizes the importance of connection, both with oneself and with others. Bringing a diverse set of tools to her practice, Amber tailors her methods to fit the unique needs of each client, viewing treatment as a collaborative journey. With a genuine passion for working with sexually marginalized populations, she provides a safe and supportive space for her clients to embrace their true selves. Specializing in couples counseling, Amber offers additional expertise in sexuality-related issues such as sexual functioning, communication, emotional connection, and rebuilding trust after periods of problematic sexual behavior, including diverse relationship structures like polyamory and kink. She also supports families, children, and adults. As an LGBTQ+ ally, she approaches therapy through an Emotionally Focused and Systemic lens, creating a context for mental health and relationship concerns that recognizes the complexity of human experiences rather than framing them as individual deficiencies requiring 'fixing.'
