Hello, my name is Michele Ryan. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who loves working with individuals, families and couples who have been affected by mental illness or just the everyday stressors and strains of life. Sometimes it can be very difficult to get relief from emotional problems on our own. Too often, when we feel discouraged, angry, stressed out and overwhelmed and we can turn to unhealthy coping skills. I have worked with clients struggling with chemical and behavioral addictions, depression, multiple anxiety disorders, PTSD and ongoing difficulties due to past traumatic experiences and life stressors.

It is my passion to help others live happier, calmer, and more fulfilling lives. Much of our inexplicable behavior and habits that hold us back are rooted in our genes, childhood, family dynamics, traumas, and circumstances. I help my clients to understand what holds them back and move through it. I help them to overcome difficult transitions and parenting challenges. I help them to improve their relationships, change negative lifestyle habits, reduce stress, improve confidence and self-esteem, uncover their passions, and eventually become true selves.

If you are searching for a therapist to trust with the tough stuff, I am that therapist. Let's be real, none of us have the perfect life, perfect family or perfect attitude at all times- guess what? Me neither! This means I am not fragile, I've been through devastating traumas, the gut wrenching pain of grief and the shakiness of self-doubt. We are all human and we all have different experiences with life. Your unique knowledge including your spirituality, culture and generational awareness can become your superpower to creating, realizing and understanding the world that you live in. Let's talk about it.

We strive to live our best lives, enjoy good experiences, and become content when we reflect on our past adventures. However, we often feel lost or disappointed when we are faced with obstacles. When we feel that moving forward has become more of a challenge and stress, anxiety and depression are holding us back; professional help is required to help maintain our foundation to allow us to move forward.

I am an advocate for the soul’s desire for expansion and connection with others. I work in the service of the psyche to bring unconscious material to the conscious to facilitate sustainable change, transformation, and growth. I welcome you as you are, whether you are suffering from a dependency, such as problematic substance use, or a mental health condition, like trauma-related difficulties. I incorporate both the Twelve Step and harm reduction methods in my practice. Since I honor and see the value in both modalities, I will work collaboratively with you to determine which approach would best serve your path towards wholeness.

I have over 20 years of experience empowering clients, teaching them coping skills, identifying distorted thinking, and triggers, and equipping them with tools and techniques that can be useful when they need to rescue themselves, helping them connect with their inner strength and see the diamond that they are. My approach is calm, empathetic, compassionate, client-led, trauma-informed, and Strengths-Based. I like prescribing movements such as yoga, movie therapy, and bibliotherapy as adjunct to therapy.

I believe that each of us has an inner guiding wisdom that knows which decisions and directions are best for us. Through the process of listening to symptoms, feelings, and reactions, it becomes possible to reconnect to that wisdom and navigate through difficulties and challenges. Issues such as anxiety, depression, fears, weight, and insomnia are often symptoms that can teach us about what is working and what is no longer working in our lives. I can help turn old habits and responses into positive changes and create life-long tools for coping and moving forward. My approach is unique and effective.

Bilingual Spanish/English speaking therapist; working in the mental health area since 2015 I have learned to take a holistic and person-centered approach to work collaboratively with adults to help them reach closer to their goals. I have worked with populations from different cultural backgrounds such as different ethnicities, nationalities, socio-economic groups, and older adults (gerontology) to target issues related to complex traumas, stress, and or life-transitions.
