  • “I’m excited to be living my life and moving forward, especially using the skills I’ve been learning. I’m truly grateful. Thank you so much for being there for me.” 

  • “I would highly recommend Dr. Raymond. After only 10 minutes during my first visit, I felt safe and comfortable enough to share something highly personal. Her warmth and kindness are truly genuine.” 

  • “These past three years have been more growthful for me than any other time I can remember. Cara, your way of walking with me has made me comfortable to the point that a trust automatically was built. DBT gave me the skills to draw on, but you have helped me make them a part of every day. I continue to hope and pray that I become the me I see through your eyes.”

  • “I first came to Dr. Cara Raymond feeling desperate and so sad, and I am leaving confident and happy. My concerns don’t seem nearly as daunting, and my struggles seem much more manageable. ‘Thank you’ seems completely inadequate. Cara, thank you so much for your honesty, compassion, patience, listening, and your sense of humor. I am grateful that I have been able to share my feelings and fears with you. Thank you for being such a positive part of my life.”

  • “I contacted Dr. Raymond for short-term, straightforward guidance on whether, when, and how to prepare for retirement.

    Dr. Raymond’s unconditional positive regard helped establish a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere that gradually encouraged dialogue beyond the boundaries of her very helpful retirement strategies.

    Bolstered by her seemingly limitless reserve of acceptance and support, Dr. Raymond enabled me to uncover deeply buried interpersonal concerns that were profoundly affecting my attitude toward retirement.

    Because of Dr. Raymond’s insights, guidance, and gentle confrontations, I am a much calmer, happier, more self-accepting person (and I am retired).” 

     

  • “When you decide something needs to change - and it’s YOU - trust Dr. Cara Raymond to help.

    After years of trying to ‘gut it out’ on my own, I turned to Dr. Raymond.  Without being too specific, I was angry all the time, stressed, and unwilling to socialize (even with the best of friends).  My negative outlook became simply overwhelming.  I felt ‘stuck,’ and knew I had to call for help.

    Thankfully, Dr. Raymond answered that call.  Her objective and skillful therapy helped me regain my voice, view my life from a more positive perspective, and find the inner strength I needed to once again meet life’s challenges.  But for me, the best result of her kindness and empathy is my restored sense of taking joy in my life’s journey.    

    Please make that call, find your own version of joy again.  Let Dr. Cara Raymond be your guide.”
