Ryan Janis, PsyD

Hi, I'm Dr. Ryan, a licensed Psychologist with extensive experience in helping individuals and couples navigate the challenges of life. I understand that the process of change can be daunting and overwhelming, but you don't have to go through it alone. At our practice, we aim to get to know and understand the authentic you, so we can free you from old habits and patterns that may be holding you back.

Our Approach

Our therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual or couple. Through my training, I have acquired a breadth of experience in all of the main types of therapy, including Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) approaches. As collaborators, we can explore your hopes and fears and work together to unlock what might be holding you back.

• Depression

Couples Therapy

Couples often seek therapy for serious relationship issues such as intense fighting, infidelity, or lack of connection. As a therapist, I understand the importance of stopping destructive patterns and focusing on the agreed goals of the session. With a structured yet compassionate approach, I am able to contain and channel heated or painful emotions while working towards preventing the same mistakes from happening over and over again in communication.
