About Ralph DeMar

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!

“Ralph leads the session in a way where we both feel heard and valued. He moderates so the toughest conversations are handled with care and resolve. Best therapist I’ve worked with ever. Highly recommend”

“I have been working with Ralph for two years now. He is a fantastic listener, will ask questions to get to deeper feelings, and also respects the need to just vent sometimes. He has always made me feel heard and offered another point of view for me on many different situations. He has also helped me work through a huge variety of stressors in different ways.”

“He has a lot of wisdom and knowledge”

“I’m grateful to have connected with you.”

“Ralph has been a fantastic therapist. It took me quite a while to find a therapist that I like, I sincerely appreciate him.”

“Mr. DeMar found away to include me and my husband during our therapy session. My husband started the session standoffish but ended the session like he and Ralph was old friends! Ralph made us feel comfortable and created a judgement free atmosphere. He also allowed us to speak our wants and encourage open and honest communication.”

“He really helped me overcome a lot… I’m thankful!”

“He is very kind and listens”

“Awesome”

“Every session with Ralph is a completely judgment free zone. He makes me & my boyfriend feel like our therapy sessions are a safe, judgment free zone. Sessions with him feel very non-bias. He listens to both of us & provides feedback & new information. I appreciate the time we have with him and there has been many improvements in my relationship since starting therapy! Thank you, Ralph!”

“Ralph takes all individuals perspectives into account and validates them very well. He does very well with making the space safe to express ourselves as well.”

“Ralph is firm fare and consistent. He is real. And he dont sugar coat. I loved the experience.”

“My husband Jake and I are so grateful for Ralph and the guidance he’s given us both before and after our marriage. From the very beginning, he created a space where we felt comfortable, heard, and supported. He has an incredible ability to help us navigate challenges with clarity and understanding, always offering practical advice that strengthens our communication and connection.<br /> <br /> Ralph genuinely cares about his clients, and it shows in the way he listens and provides thoughtful insights tailored to our relationship. His expertise and approach have made such a difference for us, and we can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable therapist.<br /> <br /> Thank you, Ralph, for all you’ve done for us!”

“Mr. Demar has been a great advocate for helping my family find the balance and tools we need to navigate our differences.”

“Ralph’s flexibility and expertise allowed my wife and I to find the words to express what we truly wanted the other to hear. “Seek first to understand, then to be understood””
