Dr. Ryan Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Ryan
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of counseling experience. I have been a Social Worker for over 20 years and have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds. I have worked with a wide range of concerns from environmental, and situational to severe mental illness. I have worked in schools, community mental health facilities, and hospice.
I believe in transparency and collaboration in practice. I believe in behavioral activation and a person’s ability to overcome thinking errors through solution-focused goal setting and follow-through.
I am confident that in working together, we can find tools and strategies that will assist in current and future concerns that effect your well-being.
Congratulations on taking this first step and I look forward to meeting soon.
