Polly Ryan

Polly gets it. She has studied the mind and behavior for so long and has seen everything in her practice. She's kind and attentive.

I had a number of sessions with Polly and I found her to be very open, welcoming, warm, and insightful. I felt very safe in her care while also getting great insight and direction and help to just let negative or painful things go. We were doing EMDR and I felt like she was able to assist me in looking at and processing some difficult stuff. I loved how she also incorporates visualization, relaxation, and mindful meditation within her treatment. I trust her and feel much at ease after my sessions with her. I highly recommend her as a soulful, insightful, accepting, trustful, and genuinely human therapist who uses her many years of experience and her unique personal style and training to offer very helpful therapy work.

I am forever grateful to Polly Ryan for the therapy work we did together. Her positive approach and gentle support in looking at trauma in my lifetime brought a new sense of peace and awareness to my life. I highly recommend her competent and compassionate work.

I began seeing Polly to help regulate and heal from old, Complex PTSD, and I can honestly say Polly's compassionate presence and mastery of EMDR helped me untangle ancient traumatic imprints in a way I never thought possible. Polly also saw me through recent events including a horrible car wreck and the sudden, unexpected death of my beloved husband. Our work together has helped me reclaim my life. All therapy is work - inner work. Polly gives you the tools, support, guidance and inner resources to do this work, to build resilience, and carry real change forward into the rest of your life. I highly, highly recommend her.

Polly has been a life changer. From the start, Polly was empathetic, kind and compassionate. She listened to my difficulties and was insightful in providing me with the right support. She uses EMDR in a really skillful way that helped me overcome some very significant life transitions. I am safe with Polly and trust the relationship. I would not hesitate recommending Polly and am immensely grateful for her wisdom, flexibility and compassion as a therapist.

Polly helped me process past traumas with EMDR. I'm able to forgive myself and others more easily now and have more choice in how I respond to stresses. The process was painful at times, but I felt safe with Polly. She was gentle, patient and thorough. It was life-changing work. I'm very glad I did it.

Polly has many different tools & wisdom to help people. She helped me manage a very stressful time in my life with empathy, kindness, and great suggestion which allowed me to move forward. I appreciated her ability to paint a vision of what’s possible & felt she truly cares about me and my wellbeing. I highly recommend Polly. She is a true professional who always seems to be able to interpret my thoughts and put them into words that make sense. She gets me!

Attended several sessions and paid a lot of money! Polly seemed uninterested and annoyed, like I was wasting her time. Would not recommend on the fact that she's expensive and appears unempathetic.

Polly is a top tier MFT therapist with expansive knowledge of multiple therapy modalities along with a deep understanding of trauma. Polly demonstrates genuine kindness and compassion while maintaining professional boundaries. She lives by example and is committed to her own practice and healing. Working with Polly has been the most productive, rewarding and life changing therapy experience of my life.

Polly is wonderful and her unique version of the EMDR technique really works. It gets to the root of old traumas and allows your body mind to heal itself. It has changed my life.

She is biased and adds her own experience and recent divorce experience into counseling sessions.
