My name is Sharon Lynn Ryan, and I am a licensed professional counselor, a board certified bariatric counselor, and am certified in nutrition and personal training. I believe that mental health is essential to physical health, not an extraneous element of it. I believe in learning as much about the whole human being as possible in order to provide the best care, and I believe the mind, body and spirit are all interconnected. Knowing how the mind affects the physical body is important in achieving optimal physical & mental health.

As my real-life Social Worker Hero, Brene Brown, stated, "Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community." I truly believe that this represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy.

Are you constantly overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or wondering why anxiety seems to be taking over your life? Maybe you're an emerging adult navigating relationship challenges, career pressure, and self-doubt. Or perhaps you're pregnant or postpartum and feeling anxious, exhausted, unsupported, or disconnected from yourself. You may not know exactly what you need right now—you just know something has to change. You don't have to figure it out alone. I help adults understand what's keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change so they can feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to who they are.

The people we work with are often facing uncertainty about attention, memory, mood, learning, or cognition, for themselves or for a child. Some arrive after a concussion, a difficult diagnosis, or years of feeling that something is off without a clear answer. Many are parents trying to understand how their child learns. Our team of neuropsychologists, therapists, and clinicians coordinates around each patient, so the people answering your questions already know your story. We move you from uncertainty to a clear picture and practical next steps, with evaluations and care delivered in one connected practice.

I know that it can feel scary to reach out to someone you’ve never met for help; it’s hard enough asking people we actually know & love for help, isn’t it? In my experience, each of us holds the power & key to healing - sometimes, we just need help finding it. I’ve spent over 20 years helping people feel less stressed out, anxious & confused so they can sleep better, work more confidently, & just live from a more joyful place. For those looking for an integrative, holistic approach, I offer that to you too.

I enjoy working with people who are motivated in becoming the best version of who they can be. I come from a client centered perspective emphasizing the areas in which people want to make changes in their lives. I want to try and help clients develop the healthiest and most rational perspective and mindset to accomplish whatever goals they’re looking to achieve. I believe it’s very important early on to establish trust and to establish an environment where a client is comfortable with their therapist. This will allow for a foundation for setting goals and achieving them.

I strive to uphold cultural humility each day. Specifically, respecting all individuals and their values, beliefs, and opinions. A person’s background and culture may highlight the wonderful qualities about them which deserve to be recognized and respected. I also aspire to continue dismantling the stigma of mental health treatment each day. I believe that the need to talk and process life with another person should not be stigmatized. Therefore, each day I work to promote a non-judgmental, friendly, accepting, and safe space for people.

They're issues are centered around their relationships. Some examples are conflict with parents / friends, bullying, lack of self-esteem, and social isolation. Their needs include being heard & understood. Goals can be to develop more confidence in themselves and to make friends. Teens and adolescents just want to know that someone cares & is not judging them for their thoughts or feelings. This is due to the fact that they might not feel comfortable talking to family and sometimes friends about what's going on.

I specialize in women’s spiritual, emotional and relational well-being. Many of my clients find me because something significant has shifted in their life and they’re in unfamiliar territory.
Some are experiencing spiritual questions or sense that something is awakening within them. Others long for daily life to have greater ease and depth. Many are tired of repeating old patterns and want to shift their relationships at a deeper level.
They’re looking for more than skills, but someone who will help them learn to navigate life with more clarity and ease to achieve emotional well-being and a deeper sense of self.
