LPC, 9 years of experience
Hello! My name is Ryan Humphries, and I am a full time Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) here in Georgia. I got my Masters in Counseling (MACN) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and have been practicing therapy here in Georgia for about 9 years. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, as well as other life issues. I also work with couples, and with other concerns to help clients improve relationships, and to become the best version of themselves. Together we will work on burnout, empathy, strengths, and use a positive psychotherapy modality to improve these and other aspects of yourself to feel better in general. I am accepting new clients!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked as a therapist for over 9 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress, while learning new coping skills, ways to improve your happiness, and learn new ways to support yourself, everyday.
I love working with people who are working to reduce anxiety and worries. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality, they often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers, lives, and relationships.
Positive psychotherapy isn't just about fixing what's wrong; it's about uncovering your unique strengths and using them to build a happier, more fulfilling life. Instead of dwelling on problems, positive psychotherapy empowers you to cultivate joy, meaning, and resilience, leading to lasting well-being. Together we can build a life filled with purpose, connection, and authentic happiness.
Mindfulness-based therapies gently guide you to become more present, allowing you to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, leading to greater emotional freedom. Through mindful practices, these interventions empower you to develop a deeper awareness of your inner world, creating space for healing and lasting change. Learn to accept your thoughts and feelings, rather than struggling against them – mindfulness-based therapies offer tools to cultivate self-compassion and inner peace.
CBT helps you understand the powerful connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions, giving you the tools to break free from negative cycles and create positive change. Feeling stuck? CBT offers practical strategies to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, empowering you to solve problems and improve your mood. Take control of your thoughts and feelings – CBT equips you with the skills to challenge negative thinking and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
