Getting to know Alan Riley

Hi there, I'm Alan! I’m an MSW, LICSW. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood while also having practical tools to move forward. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, emotional regulation, stress, and life transitions. My focus I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, emotional regulation, stress, trauma, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed understand their story and patterns while taking meaningful steps toward a more intentional life. My approach I draw primarily from CBT and DBT, incorporating person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches when appropriate. I connect insight to action, helping you understand your story and patterns, build practical skills, and take meaningful steps toward change. My communication style My style is warm, direct, collaborative, and genuine. I create space for honest conversations without judgment while also respectfully challenging patterns that may keep you stuck. I listen carefully and want you to feel understood, accepted, and supported while we focus on what matters most to you. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a therapist grew from a genuine interest in people, their stories, and the ways we navigate difficult experiences. Through my clinical education and experience, I discovered how meaningful it is to help people understand themselves, develop new skills, and create lasting change. My goals for you We’ll identify meaningful goals together and break them into practical, manageable steps. We’ll explore your patterns, build skills, and practice new ways of responding. We’ll regularly assess what’s working, adjust when needed, and focus on progress you can carry into everyday life.
