Life is full of challenges, but you are not alone. My name is Ryan Yam, Psy.D., and I completed the Psy.D. in Educational Psychology at Alliant International University in 2023. I am dedicated to offering a therapy experience that fosters connection, comfort, and a sense of value, so you can trust our sessions. My approach is rooted in building strong emotional bonds and establishing harmony to create a therapeutic alliance that leads to positive, long-lasting, and meaningful changes in your life.
I specialize in working with children and adolescents who struggle with ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, anxiety, or learning challenges. Many of the families I support are seeking clarity—often through a comprehensive evaluation or consultation—and need guidance navigating school demands, home routines, and emotional outbursts.
My potential clients are looking for practical strategies, compassionate support, and culturally attuned care that helps their children thrive. Parents want to feel empowered and understood. Children want to feel more confident, capable, and connected. Together, we create a plan that supports emotional resilience, behavioral growth, and long-term success.
