Ryan McGinnis, LSW (He/Him)

My name is Ryan McGinnis and I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW). 

I completed my graduate studies and earned my Masters at Youngstown State University. I have served in community mental health for over 10 years and honed my skills as a volunteer companioning those who experience traumatic loss.

As a therapist I strongly believe that at one point or another we have needed someone — someone to hear us, be safe, support us, and walk alongside our journey. Through this role I hope to make sense of the things that happen in your life, assist in finding patterns that keep you in place, and build new strategies and skills that are helpful for you. 

I have experience in treating diverse individuals and addressing their challenges through a variety of different approaches including (but not limited to) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. Areas of interest and treatment specialization include depression, anxiety, stress management, grief, trauma, communication, men’s issues, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and sexual behaviors. 

I look forward to exploring the best approach for you based on your needs and where you are in your journey.
