Ryan Drewianka, MA, LPCC

My clients describe me as:

Reflective, validating, lighthearted, joyful, warm, calming, supportive, optimistic, insightful, open, and flexible.

Something to know about my approach is:

I will help you learn that emotions are simply pieces of information that can help you make decisions and grow; not afflictions that need to be stopped. Changing your relationship with your emotions is hard work! But gaining awareness is key.

Together, we will:

Discover how the patterns you learned as a child to keep you safe are now the same patterns that get in your way as an adult. Learn how these connections to your past can give you the power and autonomy to create a future full of freedom and purpose.

I specialize in working with people who:

Get the feeling that their relationship with one or both parents growing up was conditional; you had to "earn" their love by behaving a certain way. My clients are introspective and growth-oriented adults who want to redefine their self-worth.

I became a therapist because:

We live in a world where others' expectations are gospel. I want to help people break free from those shackles and become their true selves.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Aslan Institute is an amazing resource for holistic and integrative mental wellness. Immediate availability for online sessions in Minnesota M-Th.
