Ray is a highly skilled IFS clinician and consultant! I have had the honor of knowing Ray since we completed level one together in 2007. His decades of experience have been fortified with an enthusiastic dedication to continuous in-depth learning of the IFS model. He has trained with multiple lead trainers, participated in individual and group supervision. His willingness to apply the model is consistent, honest and refreshing. Kind and authentic, Ray creates an accepting, calm space. Ray’s presence and knowledge make him an incredible guide who can help people discover the amazing benefits of IFS. Ray is always aiming to live in a Self- led way-which, for everyone, is a practice. Ray is committed to that practice. I am always grateful when I have the opportunity to consult with him.
When I PA’ed for the first time, I had privilege of assisting with Ray. When I was struggling with a part during a staff meeting, he took the extra effort to reach out and let my part feel seen and witnessed. This created so much more safety for my system in the training. He’s doing the work; he walks his talk. And it was so healing for my parts to be held in that container by a white, cis man.
It has been my privilege to be friends and colleagues with Ray Howard since we completed Internal Family Systems Level 3 with Dick Schwartz. Between shared peer led and lead trainer consultation groups, Ray has repeatedly demonstrated excellence with the IFS model. His natural curiosity and deep caring is why I refer clients to him for therapy and consultation.
