Dr. Heather Ryan

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I am aware of how hard it is for any individual to speak about personal struggles with someone who is new to them. Because of this I work diligently to try and make every individual feel as comfortable as possible when they are brave enough to come in for treatment. I feel it is a privilege to walk alongside my clients through some of life’s greatest challenges and then to help them thrive.

I have 20+ years of experience as a nurse with a strong background in various medical issues. I graduated from ASU with my doctoral degree in 2019. I have had extensive postgraduate training in the fields of trauma, attachment, mindfulness, and psychiatric treatment for women during pregnancy, and postpartum. I work collaboratively with my clients and their therapists, considering both medical and non-medical approaches to treatment including supplements and lifestyle changes.

You can expect to feel heard and not rushed through your appointment. All concerns will be met with a compassionate and direct approach. Controlled substances are prescribed judiciously and only if I feel they are appropriate. Paperwork can be filled out after a therapeutic relationship has been established.
