NATALIE RYAN, LCAT · PSYCHOTHERAPIST · NEW YORK, ONLINE
Therapy for the patterns that live in the body.
Somatic and psychodynamic therapy for individuals and couples navigating anxiety, trauma and relationship distress. For people who understand their patterns intellectually and are ready to work with them at a deeper level.
You can understand your patterns perfectly and still feel them take over under stress, in conflict or in your closest relationships. That’s because they live in the body, not just the mind. My approach joins both: the depth of psychoanalytic work with somatic attention to your nervous system, so change happens where the patterns actually live.
WORK WITH ME
I. Individual Therapy
ONGOING · ONLINE · CLIENTS IN NEW YORK STATE
Psychotherapy for adults working through anxiety, trauma and life transitions. We work with what you think and feel, and with how it shows up in your body, so insight becomes lasting change.
II. Couples Therapy
ONGOING · ONLINE · CLIENTS IN NEW YORK STATE
For partners caught in the same painful cycle. Drawing on Imago and somatic approaches, we slow the conflict down, uncover what’s driving it, and build ways of communicating that help you each feel heard, safe and connected.
III. Individual & Couples Coaching
ONLINE · AVAILABLE ANYWHERE
Somatic, relational coaching for individuals and couples outside New York, or for anyone looking for present-focused support rather than therapy. Grounded in the same body-based approach, oriented toward connection, presence and the relationships you want to build.
ABOUT
I know this path because I walked it.
I’m a psychotherapist and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, trained at NYU, with ten years of clinical experience and five years of psychoanalytic training at the Institute for Expressive Analysis. My work draws on psychoanalytic, somatic, IFS and polyvagal approaches. It’s also personal: I spent years living from the neck up, and learning to inhabit my body again is what brought me to this work.
