Introduction

My goal is to help adults who are dealing with trauma, depression, substance abuse, mood changes, relationship stress, OCD, or who are feeling stuck in the same patterns. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of trying to handle everything alone. Together, we look at what may be keeping you stuck and work on healthier ways to cope, relate to others, and feel more like yourself. I help adults with substance use concerns, mood struggles, trauma, and relationship stress. My approach is both supportive and practical. We can work on understanding your patterns, managing emotions, building coping skills, and making changes that feel realistic for your life. Starting therapy can feel hard, and you do not need to have everything figured out first. I aim to offer a caring, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and take things one step at a time. Clinical Supervision Services are available for Therapists-in-Training. Call to schedule a consult with Ryan Bufton.
