I have experience helping clients cope with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Hi there, I'm Jessica. Do you feel unappreciated, unseen, and unheard? Do you often put the needs of others before your own because “That’s the way things have always been”? Are you questioning your purpose in life, feeling lost, as if life is happening “to you”? Are you struggling to make time for yourself, feel stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you find making time for yourself, relationships, work, or health challenging?

My name is Ryan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I graduated with my MS in Clinical Mental Health Care at Bay Path University in 2018. I have worked in an outpatient setting, as a therapist, since the fall of 2018. Prior to completing my program, I gained valuable experience through Crisis services as a clinician and support counselor. I have worked with people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds. My therapeutic approach is eclectic with attention to client centered, a more holistic approach which encompasses the entire body as we tend to suffer as a whole being. I want to work with those to reintegrate those parts. People often do not realize the power of our thoughts and how it can negatively impact our overall wellbeing. I often tell people that our brain is a powerful tool. We are built to survive rather than thrive- this is a primordial skill that has not left us, but we have more effective tools. It is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable space to talk about uncomfortable life situations. I do well within the neurodivergent community, and have aided in navigating difficult milestones in their lives.

Are you feeling alone or at sea in your experience of grief and loss? Are you seeking support and a positive shift in perspective as you encounter big changes in your life -- losing a loved one, starting a new job or career, empty nesting, giving birth, or moving homes? Your journey of grief, loss, or life change is unique -- with its own timeline and emotional terrain. As your therapist, I will support you in navigating both the mix of feelings you may encounter - anxiety, depression, numbness and more - and the altered life rhythms of this new landscape. By offering a safe space for you to explore meaning, moods, identity, and relationships in this time of transition, I will help you to expand your skills in managing unwelcome emotions. By listening with whole heart and open mind, by inviting your reflections, and by offering guidance and support, I commit to your healing and growth in a difficult time. With a professional background as a hospice social worker and as a career changer, I understand the variability and uniqueness of how life changes and loss can manifest inwardly and outwardly. While the work we do together may be challenging and heart-heavy at times, it can also invite moments of humor and profound insight. My expertise is in supporting you in finding your footing on the path you choose. Journeys, whether inward or outward, will be the inspiration for our partnership and work together.

I love my profession! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (independently licensed in FL and MA) for over 25 years with experience working with adults and adolescents, both female and male, inspiring hope while working together to develop essential life skills and healthy coping tools. I take a strength-based approach as I believe everyone can grow and change. The hardest and most important step is reaching out and asking for help, so you are on your way to a better place in your life. Do you find that you tend to dwell on the past and things you can’t change? Do you worry about the future, the what if’s and things you cannot predict? Do you find that you are so busy in life, maybe taking care of others, putting their needs ahead of your own or you forget or don’t feel you have time to take care of yourself? That’s where I can help. I specialize in treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosocial stressors/major life changes, self-esteem building, social skills, trauma and grief. I am very knowledgeable about mental health diagnosis' however I concentrate less on the actual diagnosis because a mental illness does not define who you are. I am here to help guide you to a happy and healthy place in your life.
