Ryan Rathman

My name is Ryan Rathman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey, specializing in trauma-informed therapy. In this work I have helped individuals weaken the chains of trauma in order to help them begin to guide their lives back towards safety, joy, and fulfilment. While my work has primarily been with trauma survivors, often times this has also involved assisting with symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, irritability, substance use, and many more.

Having helped victims of trauma for over a decade, I enter into this work with a deep sense of empathy for any individual who aims to overcome the pain that has been caused to them. I approach this work with a unique perspective grounded in modern neuroscience. We will explore how your life experiences may have impacted your neurological functioning and develop strategies that leverage neuroplasticity towards creating lasting safety and joy in your life.

I strive to create an environment of safety and empowerment during our time spent together. The therapeutic relationship is one of the only times in our lives where we experience a truly one-sided relationship. The hour that we spend together is all about you and devoted to whatever help you feel is needed at that time. Whether that assistance is more about listening, exploring, planning, or guiding, the session is always your time to feel important, heard, and supported.
