Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Encino, CA

Great to meet you! I'm Ryan Carr, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and psychotic disorders. My background includes years of psychiatric nursing in both inpatient and outpatient settings, caring for individuals with a wide range of mental health needs. I believe the best treatment starts with feeling heard, respected, and involved in your care. Together, we'll create a personalized plan focused on helping you feel better and achieve your goals.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience supporting adults and families, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, panic, toxic workplace environments, grief, and depression. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent adults, including those living with autism, ADHD, and AuDHD, and help all clients build resilience, foster self-compassion, and find a meaningful path forward to joy.

Let's find the words together. You may be carrying more than people realize, whether that's ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, or ongoing stress. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.
