About Ralph DeMar
Ralph DeMar is an empowerment specialist and therapist who helps people discover their own answers. He approaches therapy as a collaborative, educational process that offers new information and perspectives, helping clients understand how early experiences and family influences shaped the patterns they now live with. He believes many of the issues people bring to therapy have at their core a sense of being devalued, and that feeling devalued often produces anger and deep hurt.
In sessions he works to identify recurring schemas or tendencies learned from elders that no longer serve the person well, separating helpful influences from those that hinder growth. He frames therapy as an ongoing journey of self-discovery, open-mindedness, and self-love rather than a fixed destination. Ralph seeks to empower people by returning their voice and their 'microphone', assisting them to claim or reclaim identity and to accept the identity they believe was given to them by the creator.
Ralph has been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. He also holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, now known as Forensic Psychology - an advanced graduate degree reflecting training in psychological assessment and treatment. He believes a quality life requires tough decisions and courage, and that asking for help is itself an act of courage. He encourages people to begin their journey toward greater self-understanding and wellbeing.
