If you are here, you've probably decided that something needs to change. Whatever you are feeling in this moment - by simply noticing what is happening in your life and deciding that you'd like to see yourself living differently - you are on your way. Everyone goes through periods when life is challenging and something isn't working.
I provide a safe and supportive environment to address what's bothering you most. The science of therapy provides us with data that tells us which therapeutic strategies work best for specific problems. For me, knowing the science is crucial; using it, however, is an art. The art of therapy starts with the cumulative life experiences of the therapist; kindness, empathy, humor, openness, honesty and extremely knowledgeable.

Ray Cochran received his master in social work from UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs. Mr. Cochran has been trained in Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical, Psychodynamic, Narrative, Feminist and Psychoanalytic modalities, and uses Motivational Interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and mindfulness approaches to change.
Through my education at UCLA, research outcomes forms the clinical backbone of my practice, which is why I have an eclectic approach to helping. This simply means I don't strictly adhere to one way of working. Each person's struggle is different and so I utilize a range of approaches, including psychoanalytic, cognitive & dialectic behavioral, existential, feminist, and relational therapies, as well as mindfulness and EMDR.
I have limited space availability for those seeking low-fee, sliding scale therapy services. Please contact me for availability. I do not work directly with insurance providers. If you are seeking insurance reimbursement, you would need to contact your provider directly to see what they will cover for out of network services.
