Grateful for today’s journey into the forest where we explored our connection with nature and its ability to ground, heal, and balance our bodies and minds🌳
A wonderful new partnership with in Richmond, VA brought curious minds and open hearts to this event 🧘🙏

Steph Ray, LCSW, RYT, WFR
Hi, I'm Steph, and I love getting curious about the self!
My clinical lens integrates the foundation of the first four Yoga Sutras with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the science of our nervous system. My therapeutic approach empowers you to look within yourself for answers and trust your intuition, and my role as your therapist is to draw from my knowledge and experience to help guide you. As a Clinical Therapist, yoga teacher, and professional outdoor guide, we will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique well-being goals. I utilize a trauma-informed approach that blends evidence-based interventions and clinical theories, psychoeducation, nature, yoga, and mindfulness practices. Some clinical theories I draw from include CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Experiential, Choice Theory, and the science of our nervous system. I personally enjoy bringing in elements of honoring what is sacred and the natural rhythms and cycles of the earth, whenever appropriate.
I find fulfillment in collaborating with individuals who desire to lead an authentic, balanced life.

My ideal clients possess a genuine curiosity about their subconscious and its impact on their well-being. I offer a secure and supportive space where we can explore the depths of your psyche and better understand your nervous system together. During our sessions, we will uncover hidden patterns, habits, and beliefs that may be causing disharmony in your life. From there, we will work on developing skills that will allow you to navigate life with awareness, choice, lightheartedness, and empowerment. My specialization lies in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I provide a non-judgmental environment where we can delve into deep-seated
