Liz Ryan, BA
Doctoral Extern
Currently Accepting New Clients
Hi, I’m Liz, a doctoral extern who is passionate about supporting children and their families in navigating life’s emotional and developmental challenges. I offer a warm, patient, and playful space where individuals can feel seen, heard, and supported, just as they are.
​
I’m currently completing my clinical practicum hours as part of my Doctorate in Psychology at Chestnut Hill College. I earned my B.A. in Psychology at St. Olaf College, where I explored my interest in family dynamics through a concentration in family studies.
​
Before beginning my clinical training, I worked closely with children and individuals with developmental and behavioral needs in various roles. I’ve seen firsthand how personalized support, strong relationships, and consistent skill-building can empower children and families to navigate challenges more confidently. Whether I’m helping build emotional regulation skills, improving social connections, or supporting children through transitions, I bring a calm, strengths-based presence and a commitment to creating a safe, supportive space for growth.
​
I take an integrative, person-centered approach, using a range of evidence-based strategies while adapting each session to fit the individual needs, strengths, and personality of each client. I use a mix of skills-based, relational, and creative strategies to support emotional regulation, build coping tools, and strengthen self-esteem. It’s a privilege to walk alongside children and families as they move toward greater connection, self-understanding, and well-being.

I love to relax by listening to Taylor Swift and working on a paint-by-number kit.
