Therapists & Professional Counselors

My background is in Psychodynamic / Psychoanalytic Therapy with over 5 years of formal training. I am currently a candidate to become a certified Psychoanalyst through the Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute. I enjoy helping others navigate their inner world and come to a better awareness of the internal conflicts they are facing. I believe that our unconscious thought processes guide most of what we do and the decisions we make. A better awareness and understanding of how our development influences this can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. My own experience in therapy has shaped my desire to share it with others.

I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and have openings for this short term treatment utilizing bilateral desensitization to help alleviate somatic and visual symptoms of acute trauma. This approach is often very beneficial in conjunction with longer term psychotherapy.

Being a human in this world can be so difficult and confusing! I love to help people become a version of themselves they can feel good about.  If we are not clear on what our personal values and goals are, we can end up feeling lost with no direction. My training helps me to help people gain insight into the ways their past experiences have shaped their present. The process of changing and doing things differently often involves working through difficult feelings such as grief, shame, and regret; no one should have to deal with these feelings alone. The better we understand ourselves, the more empowered we are to take control of our lives and become our most authentic selves. I am here to provide a safe space and to create the conditions necessary for healing and lasting change. My approach is eclectic; psychodynamic & person-centered informed by feminist & existential theories. I frequently work with autistic folks, LGBTQIA+ folks, trauma/dissociative disorders, and identity/existential issues.

Hello, my name is Ray Lynn. I am a mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, member of the LGBTQ+ community, mother to a beautiful trans child. I have spent most of my professional decade-long career working with kids, families, bio parents, and social workers from the foster care system. I worked with children school aged and up, as well as a lot of work with transgendered youth aging out of the foster care system. Trauma is different for each person. With education, acceptance, and exploration we can all work towards healing and learning to love ourselves in the process. Therapy is important because healing is messy, and does not color in the lines. Join me in creating a new masterpiece, with you at the center, driving the change.

I offer couples therapy and individual therapy with an approach that emphasizes factors outside awareness affecting your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In couples therapy, I'll help you examine maladaptive interactions maintaining relationship problems. Like a dance instructor, I'll observe and intervene as interactions occur in our sessions to help you "dance better" together. In individual therapy, we'll explore emotional problems making life or relationships difficult, examining relationships as systems and identifying important themes and patterns. I'm a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Master of Science in Family Sciences and practice as a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate under supervision.

I help people cultivate a better understanding of their relationship with themselves and others. Whether you are coming in for relational issues, grief, burnout, career change, transitions to/from college, or self-discovery; I take pride in providing an open and inclusive space for all identities. Whatever the problem, you don't have to face it alone. Before becoming a therapist, I have over 7 years of experience working as a healthcare professional. During this time, I learned the value of being an accepting and affirming provider. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and my graduate degree from the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Denver. During my time at the University of Denver, I trained at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in the OCD program utilizing evidence-based treatments to treat OCD and anxiety. I am trained in a variety of evidence-based approaches and committed to life-long learning to improve client outcomes. I acknowledge that finding a therapist can be hard, and it can be the greatest investment of your life once you find the right fit. I strive to create a space where you feel fully accepted and empowered.

I strive to create a warm, respectful, and empowering space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood as they work toward meaningful and lasting change. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, and take a holistic, person-centered approach that honors the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit—while recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to explore anxiety, depression, life transitions, and behavioral concerns, and to develop goals that feel realistic and meaningful. When working with children, I incorporate play therapy, art, mindfulness, and skill-building techniques to help them express themselves, better understand their emotions, and build healthy coping skills.
