Ryan Durgin

My communication style

I provide clear and transparent communication around expectations and the therapeutic process. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all—different things work for different people in different moments. I value collaboration and find therapy most effective when we combine my intuition and training with your expertise in your own experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been curious about people—how we relate to ourselves and others, our values, our decision-making, the patterns we fall into. Through my own experiences exploring queer identity, navigating grief and loss, and healing from trauma, I found incredible healing through therapy, which led me to provide that space for others.

My goals for you

We will work together to identify goals that are important to you, then talk through how to approach them. As life continues to happen, we can shift and adapt our plan at any time, being intentional about when we focus on present concerns versus digging deeper into past experiences.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy, as well as leaving space to talk through any questions you may have about me or the therapeutic process. We will collaborate to find a path through this work that feels right for you.
