Ryan Ricks, LSW

Ryan earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. Approaching therapy from a person-centered, trauma informed, and culturally responsive perspective, Ryan is committed to creating an affirming, judgement-free space for his clients to process their experiences and navigate their life's journey. Understanding that mending and growing does not have to be done alone, Ryan works collaboratively with her clients to explore how to reconnect with their inner strengths and outer supports. Outside of the office, Ryan loves reading, solving puzzles, and taking long walks in the forest. He also loves cartoons—especially the one about the talking sea sponge.
