I realize that if I were stable and steady and static, I would be living death... Carl Rogers wrote that, and it perfectly captures why I became a therapist. Life is meant to be flowing, perplexing, and exciting, even when it's hard - especially when it's hard. In our sessions, I provide a warm, empathetic space in which you can explore your emotions, gain better understanding of yourself, build confidence, and work on creating meaningful change. Whether you're managing general life stress or processing trauma, I’m here to support you with a collaborative approach that values your unique experiences and strengths.

My specialties reflect communities often overlooked in traditional therapy. I work with high-masking autistic/ADHD adults using neurodivergent-affirming care. I also specialize in chronic pain/illness, anxiety, depression, OCD, & issues impacting women & the LGBTQ+ community. My foundation is Humanistic & I am trained in DBT, Art Therapy, & IFS.

I view you as a whole person, not a collection of symptoms to fix. We are all living life and learning along the way. And while starting therapy can be scary, you deserve a space that's entirely yours. You're worth the time and energy this process asks of you.

Groups

High Masking/Late Diagnosed Autistic/ADHD Adults

Hosted by

Lauren Ryan

I created this group in order to make support available for a very underrepresented/underserved population. This virtual group focuses on cultivating a supportive community, skills-building through individually set accommodations (and self-advocating), processing the trauma of growing up neurodivergent without proper supports, as well as embracing clients’ unique neurodivergent identities (and strengths) all while building overall confidence. Resources/external supports will be added to a spreadsheet that all clients can access. This group is available to clients I see individually, as well as new clients who must be screened. For inquiries, please reach out by email.

Chronic Pain/Chronic Illness Support Group

Hosted by

Lauren Ryan

As a therapist living with chronic illness myself, I created this therapeutic space for individuals who share similar lived experiences and are looking for support. For those struggling with chronic pain and chronic illness, this group provides a space to build connection/community and support, while promoting and sharing healthy coping skills. It also validates medical trauma and the experience of navigating a flawed medical system. While the group is NOT medical advice, it is a validating and emotionally supportive environment. For inquiries, please reach out by email.
