Ronnie Chance

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I believe therapy works best when you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in the process. I work with adults who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, changes in their physical health, or challenges that can affect how they see themselves and their relationships. I also have a particular interest in working with men's mental health and creating a space where clients can talk openly without feeling judged. My style is warm, open-minded, and participatory, and I want therapy to feel like something we are working through together—not something being done to you. You can expect me to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you identify practical steps that fit your goals and your life.

I believe we all carry an inner resilience that can be activated and drawn on when life gets hard. My job is to understand how you see yourself and how you see what is in front of you, and then work alongside you from there. I see adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and substance use, as well as people looking for a

steady and nonjudgmental place to work through whatever they are carrying. If that sounds like where you are, reach out.

Ryan Schaffer

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
