LMFT, 40 years of experience
Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.
I'll be very curious to hear your very best hopes for therapy. Set a high bar!
I help very many couples, married or not, straight or other, from many cultures. I can help with most any couples problem, as long as both partners are sure they want to stay together. No divorce or separation counseling. I treat individuals for a wide array of problems, including anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, irrational fears, and more.
I help couples to better communicate and resolve conflict. I help individuals aged 18 and older with a wide array of challenges, including all forms of anxiety.
It's been my experience that people who seek therapy very much want their lives to get better, rather than to talk endlessly about problems.
Trained in Sleep Medicine and Insomnia Therapy. 13 years' experience. Fixing sleep problems makes other life problems shrink or disappear.
I am licensed and have deep experience in Couples Therapy, with special interest in the challenges of parenthood. I have helped many couples learn to avoid damaging escalation in arguments.

Dr. Ransen is sensitive, perceptive, practical and expansive in his approach, works to understand the personalities and motivations not only of his patient but of family members and other relevant actors. I have great confidence in his empathy, insight and judgment, and am most grateful for his helpful guidance over the last year or more.
