Andrea Ryan, LPCC

Preferred Name: Andrea

EMDR Certified Therapist

About Me

I feel honored to be a part of witnessing others heal and strengthen themselves through the practice of therapy. I received my Masters Degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling through Montana State University, Billings and am now a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC). I am also trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) through the Institute For Creative Mindfulness. I use a strengths-based approach and specialize in working with trauma related disorders, depression and anxiety. My approach is holistic and focuses on identifying how a client’s past impacts their present, including their development of skills to cope with current struggles. I am passionate in offering healing through the use of EMDR. This structured form of therapy promotes recovery from trauma and PTSD symptoms. EMDR offers an opportunity to process core memories associated with present day problems. The result is likely to improve overall functioning and connect the mind, body and spirit. I wholeheartedly welcome you to a safe space for exploration towards living a life free of burdens and finding your authentic self.
