I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to practice as a therapist; there is nothing I would rather do. I received my training in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and now practice depth psychotherapy with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy in San Francisco. Before becoming a therapist, I gained valuable experience working in government and business, both internationally and cross-culturally. These experiences have enriched my understanding of diverse perspectives and complex human dynamics, deepening my capacities as a therapist. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on uncovering the core issues affecting individuals and couples. I hold a deeply rooted belief in the transformative power of psychotherapy to foster healing and growth.

Approach Description: In our sessions, we will collaborate closely to establish safety while exploring deeper issues. My Integrative Therapy model is designed to meet your unique needs through various modalities and frameworks: What makes me unique: I have heard from my clients time and again that I am not what they expect. I am not the stereotype of the therapist who sits back in their seat, nodding and saying “uh huh”. I lean forward and actively engage in your healing process, alternating between following and leading, supporting, mirroring, and drawing out, depending on what’s needed. My orientation is informed by the frameworks below. Humanistic Frame: This forms the foundation of our work together, creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted as you are, fostering trust and openness for transformative therapy. Psychodynamic Frame: We explore both conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche, focusing on how past experiences shape present behavior and emotional patterns. Somatic Therapy: We use movement, breath, and expression to release stored energy and trauma held within the body. Internal Family Systems (IFS): We work to identify and harmonize different parts of the self, addressing internal conflicts and promoting self-leadership. Somatic Experiencing: We will reprocess deeply embedded memories, gently moving through your body’s natural healing processes, helping to restore a sense of safety and regulation. Gestalt: We direct awareness to all channels of our experience, deepening contact with our whole selves.

Ryan Carroll Practice Description
I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, attachment issues, communication, self-trust, purpose, life transformation, self-discovery, and processing childhood/life trauma. My approach is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and energetic engagement, aiming to foster deep, meaningful change. I am integrally educated and believe that the right modality for therapy should be based on your experience and your needs. I am grounded in a psychodynamic, humanist, and somatic framework. In my practice, I commonly use gestalt techniques, internal family systems, emotionally focused therapy, and somatic experiencing. I frequently hear from my clients that I defy their expectations. Unlike the stereotype of a therapist who passively sits back, nodding and saying “uh huh,” I actively engage with you in the healing process. Together, we will collaborate to establish safety while delving into deeper issues. Schedule a free consultation with me today.
