Ryan McGuckin
I am a trusted licensed professional, with over a decade of experience. I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Messiah University. Currently I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I also hold a supervising credential as a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS). I am dedicated to providing a compassionate and innovative approach to positive change.
As a fellow human being I have known what it is like to struggle with things like chronic stress, anxiety, health issues, and more.
First session
A compassionate and accepting approach has the power to change our lives. I believe 'Disorders' are just our body's way of pointing us in the direction of change and growth. They are not labels forever, nor weakness, but they point to the very strength within us to face our fears and become our true selves. Reach out now for free consult.
Strengths
As a fellow human being I have known what it is like to struggle with things like chronic stress, anxiety, health issues, and more. A shared lived experience helps with things like compassion, empathy, understanding, and trust. More importantly it allows me to offer tools through therapy to help you find healing for yourself. Disorders such as anxiety, addiction, insomnia, and depression are challenging and bewildering. They manifest in unique ways depending on the individual living with them. My approach to healing is a combination of evidence based practices with a person centered touch in navigating life’s biggest challenges together in a therapeutic relationship.
Ideal clients
Over stressed, anxious, can’t sleep well, or going through a major life transition? You have come to the right place. At Violet Tree Therapy we specialize in stress overload/burnout, anxiety, addiction recovery, chronic illness/pain, couples therapy, and sleep disorders. Your journey to healing through compassion, courage, and acceptance starts here. Often, all we need is a guide to help us on our journey to healing and restoring balance in our lives.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I have been using ACT and mindfulness based practices for over 10 years. It helps clients stop resisting internally to what they are experiencing, which gives them some space to transform their experience and reintegrate their life to align with their dreams and values.
