Welcome to Ryan Lewis Counseling & Integrative Wellness Programs! If you are seeking a change in your life, but you continue to be controlled by limiting beliefs, emotional turmoil, or unproductive habits, our counseling and coaching programs are here to help support you.

Are you tired of feeling upset? Do you find yourself overreacting to situations? Have you tried talk therapy that didn't quite work? You're not alone. Traditional talk therapy often focuses on the mind, but what if the problem goes deeper? These experiences can get "stuck" in our bodies, leading to automatic reactions that hold us back. Many of our beliefs and emotional responses are formed early on, when we are too young to fully understand what is happening. EMDR addresses the body, emotions, and stored past experiences. I'll help you rewrite negative beliefs, process your past, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
