Therapy

Taking the psycho out of therapy.

Professional portrait of Ryan Krickow, licensed psychotherapist specializing in therapy for creatives, therapists, and individuals seeking support for anxiety, perfectionism, and relationship challenges.

My mission is to make therapy more approachable.

Hi, I’m Ryan. I know that finding the right therapist can be challenging. Reaching out takes courage, especially when you’re entrusting your story to someone new.

You deserve a therapist who truly listens—someone who’s not just a passive observer, but actively engaged. You want a space where you can share openly, free from judgment. Most of all, you want to feel comfortable being yourself, whether you're laughing, crying, or sharing a vulnerable story.

That’s why I work creatively, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, to create a compassionate and interactive experience tailored to your unique goals. My practice is an inclusive space where all identities and lived experiences are warmly welcomed. Reach out to schedule your free 20-minute consultation.
