I am a psychologist that specializes in therapy for adolescents and adults. I enjoy working with those who are struggling from a number of issues and custom tailor my approach to each of my clients, pulling from research and the most effective treatment methods. If you are unsure of your needs, please feel free to call and clarify.

I help couples regain love, find shared meaning and improve ability to listen and be heard. Additionally, the transition to parenthood, while longed for, can place huge strains on relationships. Being a parent brings up unresolved feelings of all kinds from one's own childhood that may interfere with being the parent you want to be. I help parents and children feel good about their families. My goal is to help parents find greater competence and confidence to recognize and respond to their children's fundamental needs.

I am a warm and engaged therapist and bring a deep curiosity and playfulness as well as deep listening and feeling to our process. I have over 30 years of training and experience in the field of clinical and depth psychology. Whether you are an individual or couple, struggling with communication issues or reevaluating your relationship needs and history, I bring an engaged and informed perspective to our work together. I am extensively trained in early attachment, relational trauma, sexuality and intimacy and bring a compassionate collaborative presence to the therapeutic process.

The therapeutic relationship is a unique and healing one and has the potential to transform our earliest relational patterns and unconscious attempts at repair. I bring my presence, deep, active listening, attentiveness, curiosity and positive regard to individuals and couples seeking therapy. Applying my extensive knowledge, training, and practice in attachment based research and depth-oriented approaches, I enjoy working with the imaginal, dreams as well as our relationship in the here and now as it may reflect the past.

I specialize in treating individuals struggling with trauma, identity, and relationship challenges. As an LMFT I also specialize in couples and family therapy. I use a combination of traditional analytic tools, existential psychology, and narrative therapy in order to address the depth of the person, while we work on creating your new story. I also use narrative work to directly treat trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues. Together we will manifest the change you desire in yourself and improve the depth and intimacy of your relationships.

I have been working with adults, couples, and adolescents for over 35 years. I offer a compassionate approach to self exploration and deep transformation. I have been trained in many different modalities including cognitive behavioral work, solution focused therapy, gestalt, psychodrama, guided imagery, working through grief and loss, inner child work, dream work and depth psychology. Because of the many years I have been in practice, I am able to utilize a broad range of approaches and together we will design a therapeutic approach which will best meet your needs.

I hold the belief that all humans have the innate capacity to grow towards greater health and healing. I believe woundings arise to heal when the psyche is ready to embark on the journey. I use an integrative approach that is rooted in psychodynamic and jungian orientation. Jungian work can often hold space in welcoming the unconscious to integrate more with the conscious. It is a dance of integration for the whole self, welcoming in dreams, shadows, archetypes and the like. Psychodynamic work can often look and examine the root of behaviors and woundings, connecting the past with the present.

I am passionate about helping others make peace with their suffering and overall live a more grounded life. I work with individuals (adolescents to adults), couples and families. I love helping others find new meaning after trauma and grief, manage depression and anxiety, as well as help others build healthy self-esteem. I specialize in teaching tools to help others better communicate and repair relationships, heal attachment wounds, gain skills to set healthy boundaries, time manage, build a secure attachment, self-motivate, and adjust to life changes, including medical diagnosis, breakups/divorce, loss, and career changes.

I specialize in attachment and relational/historical trauma and current relational issues and bring a depth-oriented, collaborative, warm and engaged approach to our meetings. I am trained and educated in psychodynamic and analytically-oriented therapies to relationships, sexuality, various life transitions, loss, crisis of meaning and well-being.

I am passionate and committed to helping you "Learn To Live From the Truth of Who You Are!"

I take a holistic approach to the transformational and healing process. I offer the opportunity to explore personal growth through the mind, body, and spirit. I use mindfulness practices to guide individuals and families through relationship challenges, grieving difficulties, and issues related to substance abuse, trauma, and other life stressors.

I will provide you with a warm, safe and confidential environment in which we will explore whatever is preventing you from living your best life. I can help you achieve greater levels of self empowerment, self acceptance and effectiveness in all areas of your life. My practice is guided by my training in clinical social work, my PhD in clinical psychology, and Jungian analysis. I employ an eclectic mix of psychodynamic techniques. I treat symptoms of Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD. Please visit my website: www.richryanphd.com for more information, contact and mapping

My PhD in Clinical Psychology has given me the knowledge and sensitivity that psychotherapy is a very personal experience. Together we gain the trust to peel the layers of the "false self" away from the true, authentic self. Each person is different, therefore each person's healing has to be treated individually. Human suffering can be healed and I treat trauma from early childhood to the present, treating unhealthy early attachment issues we may use now in relationships. Together we will examine patterns which the patient finds distressing and long standing. I do not give advise, rather I help the patient find the advise within.
