Dr. Ray’s animated, compassionate, spiritual, and edgy lecture and teaching style takes listeners and participants on a journey into the subconscious and the soul. Using humor, personal stories, clinical experience, and education, he connects to his audience by eliciting emotions.

His experience includes working with thousands of clients/patients in clinical settings, private practices, and seminars. He believes that coaching or motivating is not the same as emotionally and energetically shifting a person’s consciousness. Attempting to change behaviors and feelings through action or motivation alone only scratches the surface. Dr. Ray reaches people on a deeper level that inevitably shifts their perceptions and behaviors.

By teaching techniques and exercises, Dr. Ray helps people naturally wake up to their own possibilities of greater health, wealth, relationships, and happiness. He believes that when people are in alignment with their true spiritual essence life itself becomes the beautiful path, rather than a constant search.

Dr. Ray has a bachelor’s in human behavior, a master’s in counseling psychology, and a doctorate in clinical psychology. He also has been trained in hypnotherapy, NLP, EMDR, TFT, gestalt therapy, regression therapy, somatic experience, meditation, yoga, qi gong, and psych-k.

He has conducted workshops and lectures in the United States, Netherlands, Brazil, and England, including speaking engagements at UCLA and UC Berkley. He has shared the same stages with Marianne Williamson, Bruce Lipton, and Eckhart Tolle. He has appeared on the E Channel, HBO, Fox News, and KCAL 9 Los Angeles and has been quoted in and written articles for Psychology Today, Los Angeles Times, Men’s Health, and Santa Monica Daily Press. You might have also heard him on Playboy Radio, LA Talk Radio, or Talk America Radio.

Like most professionals in the healing arts, Dr. Ray’s true work experience has been developed by his challenging upbringing, personal struggles, and perseverance. At a young age, he had two near death experiences that awakened his perceptibility and intuition to see life, people, and circumstances in a more loving, spiritual, and conscious way.

Dr. Ray resides in Santa Monica, California and loves hiking, bike riding, surfing, and is a lead singer of a rock band. He has been musician and performing in front of audiences since he was a teenager. He lives his life authentically, spiritually, actively, and funky trying to infuse his multi-faceted personality and interests to be an integrated, happy spiritual being. Life is his education and love is his teacher.

Note: Yes, his last name really is Doktor. If it makes you laugh that’s OK by him.
