“My husband and I came go Ray very broken. I found Ray in a google search and reached out to him via text message just like his page states. I text him and he got right back to me. I’m pretty sure I reached out to him on a Thursday and we had our free consultation on Friday evening. I am so grateful we found him!!! He truly helped us. We still have a couple more sessions with him however from working with him and doing what he has told us to do we are in a way better place. We love each other, we talk and don’t bicker. It feels like we are as in love as we were when we started our relationship 17 years ago. Ray is wonderful person, great listener. He does not take sides, he doesn’t blow smoke just to appesse someone so they don’t get angry, he is real. I hope he takes what he has taught us into the whole world because our world needs it!! He is a great relationship counselor and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Ray from the bottom of our hearts. Please keep doing what you do and share your gift with the world, it needs it.”

“My first thought after my wife called Ray Rivers was ‘who is this white Dude who ain’t been married as long as me gonna help me’. I’m a proud Black Man and I can honestly say that he has helped me become a better husband and a better man. I’ve been married for over 45 years and he has been very insightful in developing a therapy for my wife and myself. He is concerned about helping marriages become better and is genuinely interested in restoring relationships to the level of where God intended marriage to be. Long and short Ray is worth it!!

“Honestly I don’t know where to begin. Before the session I told my husband we will see what happens and worse case hoping we could remain friends . I felt there was no turning back from our broken marriage and time had taken it’s course. During the session Ray was so natural in the conversation , had an answer for every question , broke down the explanation for the feelings we had and did not sugar coat anything . After the first session during our talks the next day I was even able to answer a question to my husband based on Ray’s explanation of why we felt this way. There are no words that can explain what Ray did for us in one session , he saved our marriage, our children from the pending breakup and our lives. Just the one session taught us to communicate more, how the lack of communication hurt us and honestly we are so grateful that we found Ray. Our marriage is the best ever, don’t wait if you need help, glad we are healthy enough to still enjoy our new found love. Ray may you continue to bless lives, forever grateful!”

“Ray Rivers is the real deal. My husband and I had been in a very dark place for the last 10 years. We have attempted to see numerous therapist with no success. Whenever we attempted to talk about issues it would lead to a horrible argument and days of not speaking to one another in addition to sleeping separately. Ray has a spiritual connection to a higher power that is truly like none I’ve ever seen. He was able to give us the tools that we needed to open the doors to communication and to forgive one another and move forward. My husband and I have been talking non stop and have been able to talk about any and every issue that has ever plagued our relationship. We no longer have to walk around on egg shells. I have my best friend and love of my life back. Ray I will never be able to thank you for all that you have done for us. You are truly a God Send.”
