Complex trauma can have a lasting impact on our daily lives. It effects our mood, health, relationships, functioning, thinking, behavior and decision making. Trauma can rob us of joy, connection and convince us that we are undeserving or unworthy of love, care and compassion. In our work together, we will unlock your innate ability to heal, grow and transcend beyond the experiences that have burdened you. You deserve to feel safe, heard, seen and supported. Therapy is an opportunity to come home to yourself, recover and reclaim your life. It would be an honor to walk along side you on that journey.

On the outside, you make success look easy, though it comes at a cost. You hide parts of yourself leaving you wrestling with overwhelm, anxiety, and self-esteem. You may even feel an internal polarity. My goal is to help alleviate the struggles and difficulties you've been carrying alone by providing a caring and welcoming space. Together, we will look at various parts of yourself and find what's not working, so new patterns can emerge by deepening insight and finding pragmatic solutions. I enjoy helping clients improve communication, understand emotions, and create a healthy relationship with themselves and others.

I am Dale Ryder LCSW and look forward to assisting you on your healing journey. I utilize a needs-based approach to guiding and managing mental health concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, and other related issues. When one is able to release the patterns from the past and redefine needs the body can resource itself and be present. I utilize needs assessment and getting actual needs met over wounded needs. This includes parts work, looking at how those parts adapted and began to function from the wound. A strengths-based approach is then applied to the perceived weaknesses and a new definition of self, and needs emerges.
