My approach to therapy is holistic and addresses mind, body, and spirit as essential, interwoven aspects of who we are.

The result is greater resilience, self-compassion, fulfillment, empowerment, and joy.

Do you feel exhausted or frustrated with life’s competing demands? Sometimes you feel stuck. You do not know where to start; what to prioritize? You are struggling to manage the various roles and responsibilities in your life. Maybe you are struggling with pressures at work; feeling overwhelmed with family & parental stress; and noticing related concerns continue to be neglected, leading to experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression; a lack of self-care, of personal fulfillment. Maybe sometimes you feel numb, not like yourself. You are ready to feel a sense of freedom. A sense of enjoyment. You want to look forward to life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with trying to keep your family together, your relationships, job demands and daily responsibilities? Are your children struggling with peer relationships and/or school functioning? Reaching out to get support takes courage. This is an unimaginable time.

Your adolescent or teen can benefit from getting support with a trusted ally who will listen and help improve functioning.

My name is Celeste Ryan. I use a mixture of depth psychology (Jungian) and somatic experiencing. I am also attachment focused. I work both virtually and in person. I work mostly with individuals and couples. But also, with adolescents and children. I use a mixture of Jungian psychotherapy (awareness of the unconscious and its complexes through dreams, fantasies, and behaviors) in intersection with the body (felt sensations, emotions, how trauma gets held). Work with developing affect tolerance (nonreactivity).

I bring the best of both worlds-- over 25 years experience as a psychotherapist, expert in the areas of treating depression, addiction and trauma and a Success and Performance Coach skilled in the latest strategies and techniques for motivation and change. I am able to take what appears to be an obstacle and turn it into a means of building emotional muscle. Obstacles will happen but it is the meaning we give to events that makes all the difference. I have a background in performance art and currently utilize mindfulness as a tool to assist clients in their lives.
