More about Ralph

I am an empowerment specialist (Therapist) who assists clients in finding their own answers. I understand that most issues that people seek help for, at its core, is devalue. When we are devalued we become very angry and hurt. Therapy is primarily an educational experience in which the client is given new information. The client is able to see how influences from early experiences shape us into the person we have become. Some of those influences are helpful but others are not. In the therapy process we must identify the "schemas" or tendencies that we learned from the elders in our families that have not served us well. Therapy is a journey not a destination. Therapy places a person on a journey of self discovery, open mindedness, and self love. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I hold a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, now known as Forensic Psychology. I seek to empower my clients and give them their "microphone", their voice back. I seek to assist clients to claim or reclaim their identity and give them permission to claim the original Identity given to them by the creator. A quality life requires tough decisions and courage. Asking for help takes courage. Open up and begin your journey.....the world is waiting on you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He is a great help to find your voice!
Great for the sessions I have had.
When I first started, I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. I find it easier to just talk and finally get feedback on what I’m dealing with. Journaling also has helped tremendously.
I like his approach and how he dissects my thoughts. He helps me process the trauma.
Ralph has been incredibly helpful in my journey toward better understanding myself. His guidance has been compassionate, insightful, and truly transformative. Thanks to Ralph, I’ve gained clarity in areas I struggled with, and I feel more confident and grounded in my everyday life. I highly recommend Ralph to anyone seeking to make meaningful, positive changes in their life.
Mr. DeMar has greatly helped me through a lot of my stress and struggles through the sessions I have already had with him. He is very transparent and honest with his response and gives you time to talk and go through your thoughts.
He has been a life saver. Great person
Just getting started, but Ralph seems to be a good fit for me.

Ralph is helping us with dealing with our communication issues, weaknesses and strengths. He is great!
Ralph is an amazing counselor. He is extremely approachable and welcoming. He bring a sense of transparency that allows me to be as open as I need to be with the issues and concerns that I want to address and discuss in my life. I am very grateful to have Ralph in my corner helping me to both refresh and reflect my thoughts and feelings. Thanks, Ralph!
Love Ralph as my therapist. He's very attentive, realistic and helpful. He's funny and respectful to my needs. Love having him as my therapist. I've really learned a lot from him.
Ralph is very caring and provides a holistic approach to therapy. He is focused on getting to know you and helping you reframe your thoughts so you don’t spiral. Everything can’t be fixed in an instant, but if you can talk about it you can control how you deal with it…I learned that through my sessions and am better for it.
Ralph always makes me feel so comfortable. He really listens and wants to help
Amazing therapist and friend. Highly recommended!
Ralph is an awesome therapist great listener and is able to be present with me every time
Ralph DeMar is a phenomenal therapist. In our sessions he tuned in to the problems that were being expressed and tapped into the ones that weren’t. He created a space where I felt safe in my transparency. He challenges when necessary, he affirmed me when necessary and overall he helped me to overcome challenges that I’d been suppressing for years. I highly recommend his services.
Ralph, has such insight to what he does. He really is a great therapist. He is attentive and an active listener. He encourages you to be active and take accountability for your actions. I truly respect that about him. He's honest and gives you "homework" to grow and heal. I'm blessed to have him as my therapist.
I have a great time talking with Ralph. He's attentive, patient, and kind. He's great at listening and very accomodating. I get the impression that he has a lot of experience helping others and have no doubt that he's great at his job. I recommend him. 10/10
Great listener with great feedback. Godly wisdom and gives great advice. I feel that he has my best interest at heart and does his best to understand and give insight. Always very warm and has a strong mind. A great support to me and my safe space to talk and vent about life with no judgment. PLUS, he prays with me ✅♥️
Ralph DeMar is a very good listener & a very respectful therapist. I was very happy to work with him because he always heard me out.
