Dr. Jeri Ryan

I am a dedicated Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering compassionate support to individuals and couples. My long time passion for the work comes from engaging with people as they navigate challenges, grow to a comfortable place within themselves, and find peace in life. I've worked with a wide variety of clients and have substantial experience providing support to people from many backgrounds with a wide variety of concerns. I can help you be the person you want to be by helping you to see what's in your way. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, hopelessness, grief, and communication issues as well as "unfounded emotions". I am a certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTPII). I believe everyone is unique and therapy must meet those unique needs.

I help clients to move forward in their lives by using an integrative approach which is psychoanalytically informed and draws on trauma specific interventions as well as energy psychology. These techniques can be very effective to help people move through troubling issues, intrusive thoughts, and emotional triggers. The patient decides what technique they are comfortable with at any given time. There is no one way to do therapy.

You will lead the way in the initial conversation. I will ask about what brings you to therapy and why now? You can say as much or as little as you are comfortable with but I do need enough information to understand what's going on for you, and whether I am a good fit. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment to give you the space to talk about whatever is on your mind. I will explain the process of therapy in general as it is different for everyone. I will also explain some of the techniques that are available to you that you can think about trying when the time is right.
