About

Many men don't come to therapy because they want to talk about their feelings. They come because something isn't working anymore — anger, stress, anxiety, burnout, trauma, their relationship, intimacy, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves.

I'm Ryan Douglas, MA, RP, SEP, a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I work with men who have spent years being the strong one, the provider, the problem-solver, or the person everyone relies on, and with couples who want to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict more securely.

My approach

My therapy is warm, practical, and collaborative. I draw on Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and attachment-focused approaches, including PACT and EFT-informed couples therapy, to help you regulate your nervous system, understand your patterns, and move forward feeling more grounded, connected, and in control.

I have particular experience supporting men who find it hard to talk about what they're going through, including high-achieving professionals, first responders, and people coping with trauma, burnout, or major life transitions.

For couples

Relationships strain when one partner pursues and the other shuts down, when the same argument keeps repeating, or when disconnection quietly replaces closeness. I help couples rebuild trust, communicate more openly, and develop a more secure relationship.
