My husband and I have been trying to work things out on our own with no results. We both say we want the relationship to work but our best efforts always ended in shouting matches and accusations.Then we were referred to Ray. His approach to counseling is unlike any we’ve had before. I felt heard and understood by him. He then taught me how to listen and hear my spouse- I believe he did the same for him. Ray’s authentic and unbiased approach helped me break through my resistance and allowed me to start communicating with my husband from a place of love and not anger. I still don’t know how the miracle occurred but I praise God for using Ray to help us find each other and rekindle our love. Less

Ray's methods were swift and effective, and gave us tools to resolve some very difficult subjects with kindness and love. We are grateful to him for giving us a new perspective into each others hearts. Less

My experience with Ray was eye opening. The tools he gave was very helpful. It made me think and realize how easy it was to get the results we wanted. Thanks, Ray, for making it so easy to get the results we wanted. Less

Thanks Ray for all your support and guidance! Laurie and I can’t thank you enough for helping us open up more with each other and helping us strengthen our marriage. We highly recommend Ray to any couple who is having some relationship issues. He is an active listener that creates a safe place for both sides to communicate freely with each other. Less

Ray was attentive, patient and very knowledgeable. His relationship expertise allowed us to connect and re-establish communication that had been previously challenged. I appreciate his guidance and would recommend him to couples who want to grow. Less

When we started working with Ray, he would provided my husband and I with examples of how to better communicate through an issue and we both, in sync, would say “I’m not saying it that way!” We all would laugh and Ray would say, “Okay, then say it how you want, but put the work in.” Ray breaks things down in such a deep, spiritual yet totally relatable way that his remedies are easily applied in the heat of the moment. With Rays guidance, intellect, and homework strategies, our marriage has grown substantially! We are truly grateful for Ray Rivers and all that he continues to do for our marriage. Less

Ray put a lot of effort into our relationship. I appreciated his overall method for approaching conversations and resolving conflict. Sadly, after about 10 months of working with him, our relationship still did not improve. Specific to Ray, one of the things that did not settle well with me was that I felt a continuous bias with Ray and my wife against me. Ray continued to consistently side with my wife, which ended up with me telling Ray several times how I felt. Ray responded positively, but the thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was that he offered a future position to my wife to work with him while we were still in couples therapy. His response when I brought up this concern in a session... "First, I am not a therapist but your couples coach".... His website even says verbatim "Ray Rivers provides couples therapy". Wow. Not the answer that felt supportive of my concern. Following that statement, he mentioned that is how people in his line of work find employees to work for them. Is that true?? If so, eeek, not a promising way to grow a business and hire non-professional therapists. Thank you Ray for your support in the beginning, but you really crossed the lined there. Less
