Eric Ryan

Most people wait until things feel unmanageable before making the call — and Eric Ryan meets them right there, without judgment. A Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Santa Rosa, California, he works with individuals, couples, and families navigating everything from chronic anxiety and depression to trauma, abuse recovery, and addiction. His approach rests on a conviction he’s held throughout his practice: emotional and mental pain deserves the same serious attention we give physical pain.

Eric draws on a wide range of therapeutic frameworks — Cognitive Behavioral, Psychoanalytic, Existential, and Jungian among them — because he believes the method should fit the person, not the other way around. For someone whose mind races through the night, the structured self-examination of CBT can become a genuine anchor against the constant pull of notifications and unfinished thoughts. He carries particular depth in working with panic attacks, social anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, and the long aftermath of trauma and abuse, while also functioning as a general practitioner for the full range of problems people bring through the door.

Eric works with teenagers, adults, men, women, and older adults, and offers online sessions for those who need flexibility in how they access care. Reaching out to ask a question is always a reasonable first step.
