Andrea Bray Ryan, LPC

Andrea Bray Ryan is a licensed professional counselor with a master’s level education in the state of Texas. She has completed a certification in Traumatic Stress Studies with The Trauma Center at JRI through Bessel van der Kolk, an advanced training focused on understanding and treating the effects of trauma. As a clinician she has experience working in a behavioral hospital setting with both inpatient and outpatient populations, and she has also practiced independently in private practice for years.

Andrea works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, traumatic experiences, mood instability, women’s concerns, relationship and interpersonal issues, personal and professional growth, and grief or loss. She offers an empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic style aimed at helping individuals develop practical coping skills, relaxation strategies, yoga and body integration practices, and self-regulation techniques to support healthier relationships at home and at work.

Rather than viewing a person as a collection of problems, Andrea emphasizes a collaborative approach that honors each individual as a whole and complex person. She brings scientifically supported techniques to bear on each person’s unique situation and works with clients to identify strengths, build new skills, and integrate the challenges they face. Andrea frames therapy as a shared journey and respects the courage it takes to seek support as people move through life’s transitions.
