Therapists in Plainview, NY

I incorporate a collaborative and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy. I understand your concerns and can remove the barriers that are preventing you from flourishing. My integrative, therapeutic approach is through a social justice-oriented lens, which helps me provide culturally competent treatment. I am open and nonjudgmental to your experiences and can help you create and live a life you find fulfilling. I will work with you to get to the root of the problem, no matter how challenging it may feel.

As an experienced and dedicated mental health clinician I take pride in providing a genuine and compassionate environment for my patients. I am highly committed to the success and well-being of every individual who walks in through our doors. My goal is to provide a safe space and healing for patients to work through their issues and I do so with a deep level of compassion towards each and every individual. I have experience in both clinical and non-profit based work with diagnoses varying from anxiety and depressive disorders, mood disorders, to trauma afflicted individuals with both acute and complex levels of trauma.

I believe that therapy is a place to practice a discipline of hope—while we examine past traumas and current challenges, together we'll also create a space that makes healing possible. With curiosity and care, we'll delve into your emotions and connect them to behaviors, explore the past and its impact on the present, analyze your relationships and roles within your community, and carve out opportunities for change. When you enter the therapeutic space, you bring a unique set of experiences shaped by the world at large, so together we'll acknowledge and work through the external contexts that impact your life.

Ryan derives his approach from a varied set of psychological theoretical frameworks and philosophical traditions, among which include Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Harm Reduction, 12-Steps Recovery, Existential Therapy, Positive Psychology, Spiritualism, Exposure & Response Prevention, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Grief Therapy, and more.
