About Ryan Russell

Ryan Russell specializes in supporting individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. His therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, creating a safe, respectful environment where clients can explore challenges, strengthen coping skills, and work toward greater stability.

Ryan incorporates principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, clarify personal values, and take meaningful steps toward the lives they want to build. His work emphasizes resilience, empowerment, recovery, and developing a stronger sense of purpose.

Drawing on his own lived experience with recovery, Ryan brings empathy and a genuine understanding of the challenges that can accompany substance use recovery. He is committed to meeting clients where they are while encouraging sustainable progress at a pace that respects each person’s individual journey.

Guided by the belief that positive change can begin with taking the next right step, Ryan offers compassionate support to those navigating recovery and other life challenges. Outside of his professional work, he enjoys spending time with family, friends, and his dog, Rolo.
