October Vacation Announcement

Dr. Ray will be away the last two weeks of October for a “Bucket List” trip. The phones and emails will NOT be available until 10/29. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Also, as a heads up (starting JAN 1st 2025) Dr. Ray will only be seeing clients by way of TeleHealth video communications. Hopefully this gives everyone enough time to find alternate care if TeleHealth is not the form of contact they feel they need.

Thank you for understanding.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Hello, I’m Dr. Ray Smith.

I am an ordained minister and a mental health counselor. In my counseling practice, I combine my Christian faith with my knowledge of mental therapy to provide you with counseling or therapy that involves faith in the practical work of resolving the personal issues that we all face.

You may be concerned about a personal issue, or a traumatic event in your life, you might be struggling with addiction or questions of faith… working with me, you will find a gentle, supportive atmosphere of genuine guidance. Together, using the insights of our modern human understanding and our faith in God, we can walk the healing path. Don’t allow another day of suffering to pass without help, call me at: 509-466-6632

Prompted by my desire to minister and counsel people of faith who find themselves in difficult situations, I earned a doctorate in ministry and my certification as a Mental Health Counselor. I have my license in Washington for counseling and I am a National Board Certified Counselor.

I serve locally in the Presbyterian Church in my capacity as an ordained minister and as an adjunct Professor of Counseling at Whitworth College.
