There isn’t just one way to begin.
See yourself differently.
See the people you love with new eyes.
Therapy, books, and practical tools for adults who want to understand themselves and parents who want to understand what is happening beneath their child's behavior.
Learn why you react the way you do—and how understanding your nervous system can create more choice.
Discover what may be happening beneath your child's behavior through connection, curiosity, and practical tools.
Meet Brain and Heart and begin learning the language of your nervous system.
Healing begins with understanding.
Most of us were taught to change our behavior before we were taught to understand it.
At The Living Room, we believe behavior is information.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, overwhelm, trauma, parenting challenges, or simply trying to understand yourself better, therapy begins by becoming curious about what your nervous system has been trying to communicate all along.
This isn't about becoming a different person.
It's about learning to see yourself—and the people you love—with new eyes.
Ways we can work together
Meet Ryan
Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm a licensed therapist, author, and creator of the Brain and Heart framework. I created The Living Room because I believe therapy shouldn't feel sterile or intimidating. It should feel like walking into a space where your nervous system can finally exhale.
Ready when you are.
You don't have to know exactly what to say before reaching out.
Whether you're looking for therapy or simply beginning to understand yourself, there's a place to start.

Therapy sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes. 50 minutes will be spent together in session, and the remaining 10 minutes will be used by the clinician for documentation and treatment planning.
Session Fee & Payment
The fee for each session is $150. Payment is due at the time of each session and will be processed through the credit card you place on file during the intake process.

If a third party will be responsible for payment, an additional agreement will be completed stating that they assume financial responsibility for therapeutic services.

If you’re unable to attend your scheduled appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be billed for the full session fee, except in cases of emergencies or illness.
Insurance & Superbills
I am not currently paneled with insurance companies. However, I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific plan.
Court Involvement
To preserve the integrity of the therapeutic relationship, I do not serve as a witness or provide testimony in court proceedings.
