Hi, I’m Ryan! If you’re living with ADHD, autism, trauma, OCD, sleep issues, or a brain that just never seems to turn off, you aren’t alone. Maybe you’ve felt this way your whole life, or maybe you’re facing new circumstances that have highlighted difficulties you didn’t know were there. Many people I work with feel exhausted from holding it all together, frustrated by procrastination or sensory overload, or overwhelmed by anxiety and emotions that feel bigger than they can manage. Our sessions give you a nonjudgmental space to slow down so you understand what’s happening develop helpful perspectives that support your mind and body. I also built a free app called Between Sessions: Reflect — a private space to track your feelings and hold onto the insights we work through together. I specialize in neurodivergence and have a deep understanding of how co-occurring conditions like OCD and trauma can add stress and anxiety to your days - while disruptive nighttime routines and racing thoughts contribute to insomnia and sleep difficulties. Together, these dynamics create negative patterns that can leave you feeling stuck and unhappy. The good news is that things can change! I utilize a scientific approach to therapy that first seeks to understand the unique ways you think, feel, and learn. Together, we’ll use this information to create a custom treatment plan with targeted strategies like ERP/I-CBT for OCD, CBT-I for insomnia, CPT for trauma, and more – adapted just for you.

Do you identify as gender diverse (transgender, non-binary, gender queer, etc)? Are currently questioning or discovering your gender and/or needing a referral letter for medical transition steps? Jack Garner, LCSW is a licensed clinical therapist in the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Illinois and is a member of WPATH. Their practice is offered online where they provide individual counseling and coaching as well as referral letters for medical transition steps, such as HRT and surgeries (Note, all WPATH referral letters are provided under the informed consent model - meaning NO gate-keeping practices and it takes just one session to obtain your letter). I identify as gender diverse (AFAB, Non-Binary, Transmasc), which allows me to have a unique understanding, both personal and professional, that is not often found in the therapy world. I am passionate about serving our community and understand what it is like to question your gender, experience dysphoria, and take medical transition steps. If you are looking for a therapist who truly understands you and has 'been there' themselves - I am here for you! I look forward to meeting you and will absolutely consider it my honor to assist you in discovering and/or furthering your path to authenticity, wholeness, and joy.

It’s not easy having feelings of “not belonging” and “not knowing how to fit in” – questioning “who am I” and “how can I be seen?” Wondering where your people are and then wondering “are these my people?” How to connect while allowing yourself to be vulnerable while allowing yourself to be safe while allowing yourself to experience the full experience of life … Mental / emotional health is a vital necessity for success in life; to be able to make clear decisions without doubt or fear or to practice compassion toward the self instead of letting insecurities take root or judging the self harshly.
