About Ryder
WELCOME I hope this is the start of a journey to more self discovery, healing, and increased happiness. If you are reading this, it means you are seeking information about talking to a professional and I think that is a wonderful first start. Life is challenging, often overwhelming, but know that you are not alone as you search for comfort from suffering, anxiety, or indecision. My goal is to create a space where we can work together to find answers and support. My professional aim is to help you thrive in an area that addresses your needs with compassionate guidance and practical solutions. Of course, friends and family may offer invaluable support, but they may not be equipped to help you effectively navigate life’s complexities. Everyone needs a close listening ear and help navigating pathways that can lessen worries and provide clarity on how to move forward. As a team, we will promote self discovery and work through blockages. I want you to know that there is no shame in the need to talk to a therapist. Alongside Life’s beauty and joy, there can also exist sorrow and self-doubt. It is important to have someone who understands the emotional weight of hardship and can offer tools to get through whatever obstacles. It is never too late to make positive changes and start the healing process towards reconstructing the next chapter of your life. Regardless of age or stage in life, there is always room for growth, perspective, and the development of healthy coping skills. While sometimes life seems hopeless and we feel inadequate, our past does not have to predict our future. As a compassionate and seasoned therapist, I guarantee that we can make progress- step by step, if you are willing to do the work. Choosing DeFranco Counseling means entering into a non-judgmental, supportive environment where self-exploration and evolution are encouraged. Together, we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future. Read more Show less
