RYAN AUSTIN, LPC, NCC, MS
psychotherapist

I work with: adults, couples, and the occasional teen, utilizing IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing).

My clients deal with: anxiety, depression, addiction /substance use/ recovery, complicated family of origin/ childhood, struggles in relationships, lived experience as a part of global majority, lived experience as a part of the LGBTQ community, anger management, career struggles/ beginnings, complex trauma/ PTSD, and more.

My clients describe me as: warm and approachable, truly compassionate and open to all, and adept at making sense of life and its chaos.

I have deep experience in: Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Attachment & Narrative Theories.

Just for fun: I go to many concerts and live music shows, I nerd out over Dungeons & Dragons, and I am always itching for a new tattoo.
