What’s not working anymore
You’ve tried to hold things together—at home, in your relationships, at work—but it’s not clicking.
You’re exhausted from masking, people-pleasing, or pushing through.
Saying what you really feel is hard, maybe even to yourself.
You feel stuck in a life that doesn’t quite fit.
What healing can look like
Therapy helps you see clearly, speak honestly, and finally feel like yourself.
You begin to shift patterns that once felt out of your control.
Boundaries get easier. Decisions feel more aligned.
You’re no longer just surviving. You're thriving and creating a life that works for you.
Why work with me
I’m not here to just hold space while you talk in circles. I help you get honest, look at the patterns, and do the work that actually creates change.
I’ll challenge you when you need it, stay steady when it gets intense, and keep us focused on what matters.
If you’re ready to stop avoiding the difficult stuff, that’s where we start.
Dr. Ryan’s Specialties
-
Neurodiversity
Navigating a neurotypical world when your mind works differently can be exhausting. I work with Autistic, ADHD, and HSP clients who want to start living authentically.
-
Relationships
If things feel off in your relationship and you’re not sure why, we’ll work together to untangle the patterns, get clear on your needs, and help you decide what comes next.
-
Life Transitions
Big changes—career shifts, identity questions, midlife reckoning—can shake your foundation. We’ll find what’s solid so you can build your next chapter with intention.
What healing looks like:
→ Naming what you want—and believing you deserve it
→ Developing agency and self-trust
→ Saying no with confidence
→ Shifting old patterns in relationships
→ Living without masking
→ Feeling more like yourself
Meet the Clinician
Hi, I’m Ryan Stubblefield, PsyD—a licensed psychologist, professor, and former software engineer.
I work with adults navigating stuck relationships, identity shifts, and questions that don’t have easy answers.
My style is anchored, direct, and engaged. I won’t sugarcoat things or co-sign your go-to excuses—but I WILL stay steady when things get hard, and help you get clear on what matters most.
I integrate psychodynamic, relational, and somatic approaches to therapy, all through a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed lens. My work is LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, and sex worker positive, creating space for all parts of you to be seen and supported.
