The environment and tone are warm, inviting, and comfortable, allowing you to express yourself freely.

I bring a warm, compassionate, and approachable style to therapy. My goal is to create an environment where you feel respected, safe, and free to express yourself without judgment. I listen deeply to understand your experiences and values, ensuring our work together is built on trust and connection. I am honored to join you in this process and will work to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

I believe that therapy can help individuals overcome obstacles, gain insight, and create changes that result in a better quality of life. You may be facing serious challenges and experiencing significant emotional difficulties, or you may just need a safe space to open up about the various stressors in your life. My goal is to help you unravel and process the individual hurdles that stand in the way of achieving a happier and more fulfilling life. I run a group therapy practice focused on material mental health. We are located within a collaborative space, Be Hive Wellness, that houses several holistic providers focused on mind-body wellness. I am certified as a perinatal mental health practitioner, and I love helping individuals who are struggling with stress, mood, and anxiety issues during pregnancy and postpartum. I offer a variety of options for support, including therapy, coaching, groups, and workshops to help women develop tools and confidence as they navigate life with a new baby. I also enjoy helping people improve self-esteem and explore new ways to cope with symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma, and I am passionate about connecting people to resources that can help them grow and succeed. As an EMDR practitioner, I utilize this cutting-edge technique to help people overcome painful and traumatic experiences, including traumatic birth experiences. I offer individual and group therapy, teach educational workshops, and have written five books on self-improvement topics. I am committed to providing a comfortable, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for you to get the help you need. I view therapy as a collaborative process and welcome you to ask questions and share your thoughts on what works best for you. Everyone's journey is unique and the decision to seek help can be both scary as well as hopeful. I encourage you to view my practice and personal websites for additional information and resources and invite you to reach out via email with any questions regarding the best next steps for you.

I specialize in the treatment of sexual issues such as pornography and sexual addiction, and treatment for pre- and post-adjudicated individuals with sexual behavior challenges. I provide individual, family, and group therapy, comprehensive psychosexual risk assessment for individuals charged with sexual offenses at the pre- and post-conviction stages, and expert testimony. Prior to creating my own practice, I was the executive director and co-owner of Freeland and Hildembrand Clinical and Forensic Associates, a community-based, full-service forensic mental health clinic that worked exclusively with adults and juveniles with sexual behavior issues. I offer relapse prevention and psychoeducational-based treatment utilizing a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach. My relapse prevention training is designed to assist clients in understanding their offense or sexual addiction cycle, triggers, and the steps they need to take to avoid acting out sexually. Therapy with me will be highly interactive, with a strong psychoeducational component aimed at helping clients better understand and take control of their sexual compulsions.

When we feel stuck in our lives, for weeks, or years, it can take a toll on us in ways we may not see. Time passes and we don't feel any further in our life. We're left feeling exhausted and alone in our pain. My name is Ryan, and I provide therapy for people who are looking to break free. Whether it's poor relationships, anxiety, depression, substance or process addictions, trauma, or a desire to deepen their connection with others, I help my clients find strength, flexibility, and compassion, returning themselves to the feeling of being whole. My job is to guide you through the things that have been holding you back in your life. I'm experienced in both modern and historical approaches; psychodynamic, attachment-based, internal family systems, addiction, and psychosynthesis. Regardless of the style of therapy, I specialize in creating safe holding for exploring emotional depth and healing.

Many people come to therapy because they are tired of surviving. They may be struggling with the effects of trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, or life transitions that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves and others. I believe our struggles make more sense when they are understood within the context of our life experiences, relationships, and the environments that shaped us. The ways we learn to trust, protect ourselves, connect with others, and understand our worth are often influenced by experiences that occurred long before we recognized their impact. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and culturally responsive. I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore patterns that may no longer serve them, heal unresolved wounds, strengthen relationships, and build a greater sense of clarity, connection, and purpose. I integrate EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to help clients process difficult experiences while developing new ways of relating to themselves and others. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken. It is about understanding your story, recognizing your strengths, and creating space for healing, growth, and meaningful change.
