Katie Ryan
Psychotherapy
Mental Health Therapist | Wayne, PA
Have you thought about seeking mental health treatment for something you’re struggling with, or seeing a counselor? Have you spent time searching for “therapist near me” on Google with little luck?
If so, you don’t have to look any further. Katie Ryan, LPC, NCC, is a therapist who works in Wayne, PA, and the surrounding areas.
What services does Katie offer?
Katie offers telehealth therapy services to individuals, couples, and families of all ages. She takes a person-centered approach to each session, meaning that she focuses on the strengths of an individual rather than “fixing their weaknesses.” She specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy, among other treatments.
She also has experience working with both adolescent and adult populations who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, adjustment disorders, and bipolar disorder. Her specialty, however, is working with young adults and adolescents who are athletes. Being a Division I soccer player during college has given her a unique perspective on the stress and mental health challenges that athletes often experience.
What else should I know about going to therapy?
Making the decision to seek mental health treatment can be a challenging and nerve-wracking experience for some people. Becoming vulnerable about your emotions with someone you’ve never met isn’t something we normally do. Because of this, Katie believes in client-led sessions that emphasize creating a collaborative treatment plan. Frequency and duration of sessions will depend on client needs.
What is the difference between a therapist and other mental health professionals?
There are many types of mental health professionals in the field. You might be surprised to know each of them has specialized training and degrees, although they utilize many of the same techniques to evaluate and treat mental health. One of the most common professions in mental health is a therapist, which is required to have a Master’s degree. A psychologist is a higher-level position. People practicing as psychologists must have either a Ph.D. or PsyD degree.
