Ryan Strong, MA, LPC

I am a broadly experienced counselor with special training in Buddhist Psychology, Mindfulness, and the treatment of trauma. As a mixed race individual, I bring a unique perspective to the work of navigating systems of oppression and finding joy in this world.

Your situation is not unworkable. Trauma, stress, and mental health struggles are often the stuff of life. What you make of these elements is your contribution to the art of living, an art form that demands continual practice and growth. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to explore and reconnect with your inherent wisdom, clarity, and healing capacity. My aim is to assist you in shifting your energy from struggling against yourself to living intimately with the natural joy available to you in this life. Set down that which doesn't serve you and you will find room for what's here now, as well as what's to come.
I am trained in the unique lineage of Contemplative Psychotherapy developed at Naropa University. My approach blends western scientific understanding of trauma and the nervous system with the deep wisdom and insight of Buddhist psychology. I am experienced at creating a collaborative, trauma informed, and personalized approach to your therapeutic journey.
I would love to work with you as you overcome hesitation and reinvigorate your connection to your own life force. Schedule a free consult with me and let's get started!
