Individual
Therapy: for adults, adolescents, and
children, a one-to-one relationship in a trusting and safe
environment can allow you to express your emotional distress and not
feel judged or pushed to change. Dr. Raymond allows you to set the pace
and deal with your issues in ways that you can tolerate and manage. You
can learn and experiment with alternatives when you feel ready. You can
begin taking risks in the therapeutic relationship that may be too
dangerous for you to do elsewhere. Dr. Raymond will act as partner as
you progress and support you every step of the way.
Couples
Therapy: when you feel scared to talk to
your partner, or when most communications feel like battles, then
conflict wedges you apart. Dr. Raymond offers you the opportunity to
express the fears, and communicate in a way that makes each partner
feel heard and valued. This is important whether you are in a long
standing relationship or just beginning on a journey together. Old
patterns of dialogue that keep you stuck and repeating the same
familiar unsatisfying interactions are illuminated by Dr. Raymond, so
you can touch and be touched by your partner in more meaningful ways.

Family
Therapy: Members of families need to
negotiate their relationships at all ages and stages in their lives. As
families evolve, change and accommodate to new situations the language
they once used to communicate with one another may fail to adapt.
Tension and discomfort constrict the scope of resources that each
member can call on, during these times of transition. Some of the
triggers could be separation, widowhood, divorce, re-marriage, the loss
of a family member of pet, moving to a new place, or adapting to a new
member of the family.
Dr. Raymond can help free up the blockages and create an atmosphere where even the most painful and fearful feelings can be expressed without risking destruction and loss of the family network.
Art
Therapy: Dr. Raymond believes that
emotional traumas can arrest the development of your voice, such that
you have not had the chance to learn how to speak of it. Using a
selection of unique personal creations such as in collage work,
drawings, sand play and textured model making, the intensity of the
trauma can be expressed, and you can learn the language that speaks
your pain. As you make your art and dialogue with Dr. Raymond, you
create your own dialect and write Act 1 of your life. Together we
continue to write the next acts of your story, creating the conditions
for the ending to be one you would wish for.
Groups:
Dr. Raymond runs small groups for those interested in using a peer
group to learn more about themselves in an interactive format. Get
feedback, feel less alone, and build your coping skills with support.
