About Ryan
My name is Ryan Andrews (She/Her), LCSW, and I am an Austin-based psychotherapist in private practice, with over 15 years of experience. I currently treat adults facing issues including (but not limited to):
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma & PTSD
Family of Origin Issues
Relationship struggles
Grief
I welcome and embrace adults of all races, gender identities, and sexual orientations. I am neuro-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, actively pursuing anti-racism and allyship, and am always seeking to learn how to best serve traditionally oppressed populations. (Even, and especially, when that means referring to a trusted colleague who is better informed, experienced, and suited to address certain issues).
Over the years, I have trained in various methods and modalities including the DEEP method (Dynamic Enriched Experiential Psychotherapy), Yoga (300 hr), Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method, Hypnosis, IFS, Mindfulness, Brainspotting, and EMDR. Each training I’ve done has helped me to weave new information and perspectives into my work with clients.
When I’m not working with clients, you might find me engaging in whatever my current hyper-fixation hobby of the moment is (thanks to my beloved blend of Autism and ADHD!). I am currently very into sitting quietly with my adult coloring book and alcohol-based markers (the best IMO). I also love to read fiction, as well as non-fiction therapy-focused books.
Additionally, I have a side photography business. I find that keeping creative is a way to keep my mind sharp, my ego humble, and my inspiration sparked. I love seeing people through my lens, as much as I love seeing them in my office!
Lastly, I enjoy traveling the world with my husband, son, daughter, and step-daughter. Experiencing how people all over the world live has a major influence on my personal and professional life.
Please continue to browse this website for more information regarding my offerings, and reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
Sending you hope for health and peace.
“I was hoping to find a counselor that would tell me what to do. This was not what I found with Ryan. Instead of telling me what to do, she helps me dig within to be confident making my own decisions. Since working together I have started challenging my fears, that until now have seemed overwhelming and unsurmountable. Working through divorce, fears of flying, and managing the stress of owning my own business, I am so grateful for Ryan’s counseling guidance and support. ”
