Ryan Healy

I’m Ryan, a Licensed Professional Counselor and ICU nurse with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Holy Family University. I work with adults 18+ navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, relationship stress, and major life changes.

My background in critical care and behavioral health helps me understand how emotional stress, physical health, and caring for others can overlap. You may be used to being the strong one while quietly feeling overwhelmed yourself.

As a gay therapist, I offer LGBTQ+ affirming care and welcome people of all backgrounds. I bring warmth, honesty, and humor to our conversations. You don’t need to explain everything perfectly or have a clear plan before we begin—we can start with what’s weighing on you.

My approach is warm, straightforward, and collaborative, with room for humor and honest conversation. We’ll explore what’s weighing on you, understand patterns that keep you stuck, and find practical steps that fit your life.

I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered therapy. That might mean working through anxious thoughts, practicing boundaries, or exploring mixed feelings about making a change. Your goals guide our work, and we’ll check in about what’s helping and what needs to shift.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you’d like to be different. You can ask questions, too, and share at a pace that feels manageable.

You don’t need a prepared speech or a clear set of goals. If you’re unsure where to begin, I’ll help guide the conversation. We’ll identify an initial focus together and discuss next steps, including whether my approach feels like a good fit for you.
