Professional statement

Avery Ryan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who welcomes adults across the lifespan to her private practice in New York City, offering online sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic and thereafter to anyone within New York State, with the options for in-person sessions in NYC when it is safely recommended.

Many individuals who visit Avery are grappling with anxiety and/or depression, or simply feeling “stuck.” Some are also struggling with unresolved trauma from childhood or more recent experiences. Work with Avery needn’t involve a long detailed analysis of your history, she takes an individual approach and often provides “here and now” work dealing with client’s current feelings and concerns. Her approach is warm, authentic and interactive, believing that therapy is successful when it’s a true collaboration between therapist and client. Additionally, Avery warmly welcomes members of the LGBTQIA+ community, providing a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore topics such as coming out and navigating different interpersonal relationships. And as a former attorney, Avery is able to draw upon her legal background in the corporate world to provide coaching that is especially suitable for professionals and executives.

Avery understands the importance of working with an experienced, nonjudgmental provider with whom clients can form a trusting alliance. She strives to provide highly-tailored and supportive care, and hopes that those who work with her come away with a firmer pulse on their strengths, as well as an innate capacity to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of living a happier and freer life.

Message to clients

I work with adults of all ages dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship stresses, feeling "stuck," identity issues, sexuality, major life transitions, negative patterns, and grief and loss. Our work together can help you develop better coping skills, reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem, reframe your perspectives, improve relationships, and loosen those feelings of "aloneness."
