Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

Real support for real life, wherever you are in your journey.

As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.

Therapist

As someone who has been both a client and therapist, I encourage you to tell and develop your own story. In my personal and professional life I have witnessed: family struggles, mental illness, substance use, domestic violence, trafficking, and grief; and I am a firm believer that this does not define you. It takes courage to seek support during difficult times, & I want to help empower clients in using their own strengths tp develop skills to foster hope, healing, and resilience.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals and families across diverse clinical settings. My career began in group homes working with adolescents and adults living with chronic mental illness, followed by work with the Department of Children and Families, Visiting Nurse Association and Crisis Intervention through the hospital Emergency Department where I developed strong skills in assessment, stabilization, and systems navigation.

For the past 10 years, I have specialized in Integrated Behavioral Health within a primary care setting, collaborating closely with medical providers to deliver whole-person, accessible mental health care.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Marist College and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University. I utilize a range of evidence-based and client-centered treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), insight-oriented therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. My work is grounded in helping clients build insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
