Hi, I'm William! As a Black, male, and associate therapist who has worked within the school system for many years, I have an affinity towards working with teenagers and young adults from many different backgrounds navigating their ever changing world. Observation is a core strength you can expect from me because I notice what you express and what's your unspoken truth. I listen attentively to all, creating a space where you can feel heard and understood. As an advocate for those who identify as or seek guidance for someone LGBTQ+, I believe in fostering support systems where individuals can feel valued and be their authentic self.

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.

Reaching out for help is not an easy decision, so when you build up the courage to make your first call, or your fifth call, you need to be met with warmth and compassion. Life's transitions at different stages of life can be painful and challenging. You might be adjusting to "adulting," struggling in relationships or with work, or navigating the phases of life women face in a society that can sometimes feel harsh. If you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused, unhappy, or tired of life as it is right now, it might be time to seek help from a compassionate non-judgmental therapist.

Are you emotionally exhausted, stressed & unable to recognize yourself? Is it a struggle communicating with loved ones? Ordinary tasks feel burdensome and you're too tired to do anything. If any of these even partially describe your situation it's important to recognize that you aren't alone.... it doesn't have to stay this way. Often the most trying and somber moments in our lives drive us to a journey of self-discovery. As your therapist it will be my goal to provide support and empower you, as you move beyond that pain. Genuine health and happiness are within grasp.

One doesn't plan for a late in life divorce; the death of a spouse or becoming a caregiver to an elderly parent or friend. These late life transitions have become common for people in their 50's and upwards - leaving many feeling alone, afraid, unsupported and inadequate. The need to "reinvent" and "redefine" who you are now can be paralyzing. As a therapist with an extensive background in grief and loss, we will explore the "unknown" together; define your strengths and personal goals; and remove barriers to finding meaning at any age.
