Meet the Founder

Rick Raymond, PhD - Clinical Psychologist

As a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Strata Psychological Services, Dr. Raymond specializes in both evidence-based psychotherapy and comprehensive psychological assessment. He also serves on the board of the Philadelphia Society of Clinical Psychologists.

Dr. Raymond’s clinical work has spanned hospital systems and private practice settings, where he has assessed and treated a wide range of concerns including anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, and mood disorders. He completed his predoctoral internship at the Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Hospital and his postdoctoral fellowship at the Capital Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CICBT). He served as a staff psychologist at both CICBT and the Behavior Therapy Center of Greater Washington, receiving advanced training in CBT from internationally recognized experts Dr. Stephen Holland and Dr. Charles Mansueto.

Before discovering his passion for psychology, Dr. Raymond worked in various corporate and non-profit settings. He graduated from Princeton and began his career at Google when an opportunity to work with Cape Town-based nonprofit Ubuntu Africa introduced him to both the direct provision of healthcare and the practice of mindfulness. He pursued research on mindfulness-based health interventions at The Catholic University of America, where he received his PhD in Clinical Psychology. Dr. Raymond’s clinical practice pulls from all of this experience, including a deep understanding of the pressures placed on high achieving individuals.

When not working, Dr. Raymond can often be found exploring local trails or diving deep into music history.
