Dr. Jeri Ryan

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I strive to create a safe environment for you to explore and successfully address the challenges you face. I specialize in treating trauma (chronic or recent). I am a certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTPII). Trauma is not necessarily a specific event; it can be the environment you breathe(d). I also work with identified depression, anxiety, hopelessness, grief, and communication issues as well as "unfounded emotions". I believe everyone is unique and there is no one way to do therapy.
