Ryan DeCook, LCSW
I help adults who are struggling with panic attacks and painful traumatic experiences. Panic may show up as sudden waves of fear, chest tightness, racing heart, or feeling like you’re losing control, especially while living daily life. You may be haunted by a traumatic event or a difficult childhood that still brings shame, self‑blame, or vivid memories. You’re ready to address these patterns and feel more like yourself again. I draw on EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness at a pace that respects your nervous system and history. Our work balances a warm, honest relationship with practical tools and clear goals.

My clinical expertise is in CBT, effective for treating depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, etc. I am also trained in several other Evidence Based Therapies for those suffering from the effects of trauma.
