Andrea Bray Ryan, LPC

Andrea Bray Ryan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master’s level education practicing in Texas. She also completed certification in Traumatic Stress Studies with The Trauma Center at JRI through Bessel van der Kolk, and brings both hospital-based and private practice experience to her work. Having supported inpatient and outpatient clients in a behavioral hospital as well as people in independent practice, she has worked with a broad range of mental health concerns.

She provides an empathic, supportive, in-the-moment, and non-judgmental style of therapy aimed at addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, traumatic experiences, mood swings, women’s concerns, relationship and interpersonal issues, personal and professional growth, grief and loss, and other common life challenges. Andrea draws on evidence-based techniques while teaching coping skills, relaxation methods, yoga and body integration practices, and self-regulation tools to help clients improve their daily functioning and relationships at home and at work.

Andrea emphasizes a collaborative approach that recognizes each person as a whole, complex individual rather than a list of problems. She works to highlight existing strengths while introducing new skills that can be integrated into everyday life. She approaches therapy as a shared journey and is committed to supporting clients as they navigate the changes and challenges that brought them to seek help.
