Sefora Ray, MA

Sefora, has an amazing knack for getting to the heart of a matter and reflecting it back at one so elegantly that it is impossible to ignore. She does so in the most disarming and nurturing way that leaves one able to look upon a complex that has one stuck and writhing, lovingly and with full acceptance. From there she holds out the invitation of engaging that mystery and staying with it to determine whether or not it can’t be the piece that will lead to liberation. She encourages one to embrace the strange paradox’s that actually encourage purposeful living, and help one navigate the often confusing landscape of the human psyche.
An astute facilitator of helping people to reclaim a sense of empowerment and internal equilibrium, capable of wading through the most unpleasant of complexes to find the accord that can allow one to sit in their own power while facing shadows that may bedevil you. Interrupting the incessant critical voices that we have all internalized, to help one see themselves in their totality and pin point what is truly important in the arc of a life.
The fact that she is present to allow a person’s process to unfold on it’s own without trying to interpret what it means in some psychotherapy model is her core strength, she has a knack for creating a space to let the material emerge and allow the client to come to their own answers. Combine a loving personality and a sense of compassion for every one she interacts with and you have one stellar human being! If there is any issue that is obsessing you or all the traditional methods for moving forward have failed than Sefora is the person to go to, in order to get things back on track. Even in the pits of despair, she can through acting as a creative catalyst pull one out from the ocean of darkness back into the light of day.
Highly skilled and intuitive professional.

I first went to Sefora last fall for one of her free introductory sessions with no real intention of continuing, but by the end of the first session, I had signed on to work with her. I was/​am very impressed by her kind presence and her ability to utilize various techniques/​therapies based on what is needed in the moment.
I highly recommend Sefora as a counselor/​life coach and feel blessed to have her in my life.

I left Sefora’s office today after a deeply intense session where she immediately identified my issue and ways to heal it. After several hours of integrating the experience I can feel that my energy has shifted and that I have a new perspective.
I have worked with Sefora for several years and she is a highly skilled intuitive counselor that always sees into the root of any issue. Through the years she has guided me and re-​framed several of my stuck patterns in a caring, non-​judgmental and insightful way. I am so grateful for her in my life — you will be too!

Sefora is present, deeply empathic and committed to supporting her clients in creating the life they want. She integrates a wide range of counseling modalities which result in sessions filled with surprises that transcend traditional ‘talk counseling’. She is a fantastic listener and isn’t shy about sharing her seeing around blind spots and stuck places. I highly recommend her.

Sefora has been a counselor for me for many years. She is really insightful about what makes people tic. I rely on her when I have complex, gnarly issues to work through. She is especially talented at helping me navigate complex questions about friends and relationships — she has gentle ways of helping me see the roots of my fears and finding ways to grow past them. Highly recommended.

Sefora is a gifted counselor with a strong intuitive sense backed by deep psychological understanding and sound judgement. She has the rare capacity to be both supportive and challenging – penetrating to the heart of the matter while holding sensitive topics with care and compassion. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for guidance in their life’s journey.

Sefora has coached/​counseled me with several things. I love that she really listens with deep heart and intention, and is very present to what’s going on with me. She is also very insightful with her comments regarding the issues and hence is someone who’s thoughts I welcome and look forward to.
What’s even more awesome is that Sefora is not like the typical psychotherapist/​psychoanalyst trying to analyze you. Her high degree of skill is obvious in holding space for a process that unfolds as you continue to work with her.
I’m a fan!
