Therapists in North Gateway, Phoenix, AZ

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor experienced in working with individuals of all ages, providing care and support for those facing eating disorders, substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. I understand deciding to get help can be an extremely difficult decision. Having a safe space to go for support is at the top of my priority list as a human and therapist. Within my work in the eating disorder population, I am an anti-diet and Health at Every Size focused provider who is passionate in using a social justice lens to approach and explore body image, weight stigmatization, and more!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years experience in the counseling field. I hold my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Arizona and my Masters degree in Counseling from Northern Arizona University. My experience has been with families and children as well as adults struggling with substance use disorders. My passions include helping families to achieve better communication skills in order to live their fullest lives.

During my years of tenure as a professional counselor I have found a few simple truths. Anxiety is real & it is ok. Let’s turn it into a strength. Trauma, depression & abuse of all kinds are real. Everyone deserves help & no one should go through it alone. Perhaps its lack of sleep, lack of self-care, lack of motivation, intrusive thoughts, diminishing personal connections, avoiding social engagements, over/under eating, or removing ourselves from the ones we love. Most of us will experience these very real issues during different points in our lives. You deserve to heal & experience your full potential.

I’m a caring and dedicated psychotherapist. I provide tailored mental health treatment to individuals and couples of all ages and walks of life—from children and teenagers to adults, couples, and families. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs that hinder individuals from meeting their goals. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, stress and trauma. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals, and I customize my approach based on your individual needs.

Asking for help does not have to be shameful or painful. It can be eye opening and lead to new routines and processes that enrich your life. By employing Expressive Art Therapy, Ryan finds creative and unique ways to approach challenges that come up in life. Adding a creative element to core issues like anxiety, depression, esteem and addiction issues, feelings start to reveal themselves. Not only does it take the mystery out of the issues but through creativity, new daily routines and mindful approaches are implemented.

Therapy takes courage. Every time a client walks in my door whether it's for an initial consultation or after a year of weekly sessions, I have great respect for them. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move in the direction you want to go, providing support and insight along the way. If you are searching for a solution and have the tiniest motivation to change, I commit to helping you increase the quality of your life. By identifying current life stressors and dysfunction, we will explore the impact on your relationship with self and others.

In my work, I see conflict and communication as the driving force for needing support. I believe that every conflict offers an opportunity to be deeply seen and understood by our partner, friends, or family. In my practice, I lead with the Gottman method for couples, which integrates research-based interventions to help those that are experiencing issues such as lack of intimacy, sex, commitment issues, infidelity, betrayal, lack of friendship, loss of trust, money issues, communication issues, parenting, etc. This approach is equally applicable to working with families and individuals as well.

We all need a little assistance from time to time in this complicated world. My client's come to session wanting and needing a variety of modalities and strategies. Our sessions build a relationship of trust and respect so we can eventually dive deep into the root of whatever is causing the upset. Through therapeutic relationships we find the safety to explore, try out new coping strategies and feel supported through the adjustments in life. My adaptable approach allows for flexibility from individual to individual as well as opportunities for growth in-between different types of challenges and adjustments. Thank you for considering

It takes time to pick up the pieces. Parts of you may feel broken, paralyzed, and unheard. With intergenerational systems of dysfunction, very few of us grew up with anything approaching healthy relating. As mammals, we can use the natural force towards connection along with regulating our autonomic fitness to return to our joyful and intuitive self. I can help adults and teens create movement in the isolated "stuck places" and integrate unprocessed pain and suffering. I am passionate about serving children who also highly benefit from therapy by communicating their inner world through play.
