Professional statement
Dr. Ryan is a semi-retired philosophy professor who also spent over a decade in the mental health field. She now works primarily with individuals who find themselves troubled, anxious, depressed, or traumatized, often searching for meaning and purpose in their life.
Dr. Ryan has an interactive intellectual approach that helps clients focus on their deepest inner needs, existential worries, and reflect on what they want. This allows clients to open up to themselves and the universe in a way that’s as unique as the individual.
In her practice, Dr. Ryan helps clients accept reality as is, so clients can be themselves and enjoy being themselves. Internal harmony is essential to human happiness. In sessions, clients discover the totality of their personhood, come to appreciate being alive, and thrive, rather than to simply survive. By making space for their inner selves, Dr. Ryan’s clients come away from therapy with the ability to live life authentically.
