Marriage Counseling or Personal Counseling: That’s the Question

Understanding how people in a marriage or family interact is important in addressing concerns in the counseling office. My introduction to this dynamic came more than 30 years ago. My wife and I began working as House Parents for a children’s home. We saw the influence we had on the behavior and emotions of children, and how they impacted us. […]

Testimonials

“I have found that virtual counseling has proved to be as impactful as meeting face to face. My home is a place where I find comfort and being within this setting during the virtual counseling sessions has proved to be a relaxing setting. The technology has allowed for additional flexibility in regards to time and travel/commuting restraints.”

"What can I say about Ray and my experience with EMDR? Fascinating, moving, healing and quite frankly it saved my life. I had been in therapy, CBT to be specific, for the better part of my life. Active member of a twelve-step program for over 25 years. What I didn't know (and what medication had seldom provided, if any relief) was that I was dying from PTSD. I had been diagnosed with PTSD many times over the last 10 years."

Roger

"I was suffering from intrusive thoughts and unbelievable grief and sadness. My agitation would go from mild to explosive. But then I met Ray and his practice at Light at the End of the Tunnel as a referral through a program with my employer. I was skeptical at best when it came to EMDR. I assumed I had already received everything that was available for someone in my situation. My results were immediate, life changing, and moving."

Roger

"I have seen Ray for over 18 months. When COVID-19 came we knew I had more to work through, but how? Well, I am grateful to say that technology and an open mind proved to be an ally. I reluctantly went into my first virtual session wondering the usual barrage of 'what if ' type of thoughts, only to find massive relief at the end of the session. Once again therapy unraveled a lifetime of hurt. With virtual EMDR I found real freedom on the other side of the pain."

Ray has such a warm & calm presence. He makes me feel at ease & that he is genuinely interested in hearing from me.

Mary

Ray,Your understanding and sweet spirit put me at ease in a group of strangers, even though my heart was broken and words to share were locked in the deep recesses of grief. Your gentleness and patience allowed me to unlock that door and let the "Grief Share Group" in to start my healing. Your whole countenance brought comfort. Thank you.

Ray has a gift of compassion and care that really blesses those going through grief. He provided a comfortable and relaxed setting that allowed me to express my grief in healing ways. I always looked forward to our time together because I felt such sincere support and encouragement from Ray.

David

I had the honor of being a part of a grief group, led by Ray Sibert. From the first meeting until the last, Ray's gentle manner created a warm and open environment. As a leader, Ray projected a sense of safety in which group members could share and heal. His insightful questions allowed members to explore their feelings more fully without feeling pushed or prodded. Ray is an experienced, gifted counselor. I regard the time I spent in Ray's group as crucial to my ability to move through my grieving process. Never did I feel rushed or judged, but I was given the time and space to give in a way that was natural to me. I will forever be grateful for Ray's guidance and insight.
