Getting to know Michele Ryan
Hello, my name is Michele Ryan. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who loves working with individuals, families, and couples affected by mental illness or the everyday stressors and strains of life.
Sometimes it can be very difficult to find relief from emotional problems on our own. Too often, when we feel discouraged, angry, stressed out, and overwhelmed, we can turn to unhealthy coping skills. I have worked with clients struggling with chemical and behavioral addictions, depression, multiple anxiety disorders, PTSD, and ongoing difficulties due to past traumatic experiences and life stressors.
I have experience working in treatment facilities specializing in addiction and co-occurring disorders. I am trained in EMDR therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for trauma, and certified in TF-CBT. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Let me help you make meaning in your life and recover from what can feel like a dark and daunting existence.
I am a native of Los Angeles and grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and my Master's in Counseling at Phillips Graduate University. When I am not at Lyra working, I love the beach, horseback riding, traveling, and hiking with my dogs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Each person is different; I find it best to practice various approaches such as CBT, family systems, relationship methods, narrative, and trauma-focused therapy, with a holistic perspective to address individual purpose. As we work together, we will share in a solution-focused and strength-based approach that can provide growth early on.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
