We are passionate about personal growth and self-actualization which can emerge through the therapeutic process. We believe everything that occurs in life is not by accident, but are in fact lessons to be used in grasping one's own meaning of life. Although we tend to favor experiential approaches, our theoretical orientation focuses on an integrative style of therapy. We begin with the client gradually building a foundation of acceptance and trust that is both affirming and non-judgmental. A successful therapeutic relationship is built upon making a connection through engagement allowing a client the freedom to just "be."

I create a comfortable environment in my office where people feel safe to share. It is my belief that each of us is unique in our histories and in the strengths that we bring to a situation. Part of the experience of therapy is to identify the strengths and successes we have had in our lives and to discover how these things can impact the current concerns we are facing. Often through the experience of talking with a therapist people are able to figure out how to take the steps that will make their life situation and relationships work better.

Life, relationships, even moments, can be hard. It is often difficult to talk about what is going on inside, to find footing when it seems your life is crumbling. I will hold space for you, all yours, a hard thing to find in real life, and provide an opportunity for you to connect more deeply with yourself, heal and recover. We will work collaboratively to develop a healthier, happier you. This creates a natural domino effect into your life. You will learn skills, insight, see the negative dynamics that effect you consciously and unconsciously. This allows you to change, to integrate all the hurt pieces of you into a healthy whole.

I'm Ray Nava, a highly driven mental health provider with a background in family medicine. I leverage this background to adopt a comprehensive and holistic approach towards mental health care. My professional journey has led me to work with a culturally diverse population across various states including, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, and New York. Additionally, I am able to serve Spanish speaking clients and offer my services in Spanish.

I recognize the unique strengths and resources within each family and individual, I aim to build on these assets to promote positive change and resilience. Through collaborative and empowering interventions, I seek to foster open communication and a sense of agency. By actively involving family members in the decision-making process, I strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels heard and valued. I draw upon evidence-based practices to tailor interventions to the specific needs of each child and family, addressing challenges such as trauma, communication breakdowns, or systemic issues.

I enjoy working jointly with children and families who have difficulties in their relationships and development, including those who have lived through traumatic events and experienced foster care and adoption. I believe all children and families have inherent strengths and the ability, with help, to make positive changes in their relationships. I can help parents understand their child’s behavior and developmental needs, enhance trust, and build secure attachments within the family. I want families to learn new skills, increase resilience, overcome obstacles, and thrive.

I aim to provide relationally-based psychotherapy through effective interventions that honor the context of each client. My work has focused on individuals and relationships and the healing of trauma through relationally-based, trauma-informed therapy.
