Ryan Avevedo, LMSW
My therapeutic practice is driven by a deep-seated passion of helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I firmly believe in viewing each person as a holistic being, understanding that their experiences, emotions, and aspirations are interconnected. Operating from a non-judgmental perspective, I collaborate with my clients to facilitate their growth and empower them to manifest their desired selves. My commitment lies in fostering a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their innermost thoughts and interconnected world in order to work towards becoming the person they have always aspired to be. This journey takes time, practice, and a lot of patience, which is why I commit to supporting you every step of the way, both as a therapist and a fellow human-being.
In our sessions, I strive to support you in uncovering your past, present, and future self. I recognize that each interaction we share constitutes a pivotal moment in your therapeutic journey and the relationship you share with yourself. Through this collaborative process, it is my goal to help you gain valuable insights and develop the skills necessary to navigate life's complexities with confidence and resilience.
Foundational to my therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where I aim to investigate the relationship between your automatic thoughts and instinctual behaviors. Additionally, I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, equipping clients with practical tools to manage distress, improvise interpersonal relationships, and regulate emotions effectively. By incorporating acceptance and mindfulness-based practices, I facilitate a deeper understanding of one's inner experiences and promote emotional well-being. My goal with every client is to empower them with tangible strategies that foster positive change and promote a more fulfilling life.
