I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most difficult challenges. My background includes providing psychotherapy in forensic settings and conducting emergency assessments for individuals in crisis. I primarily work with adults navigating the lasting effects of childhood trauma or struggling with anxiety, depression, or mood disorders. I aim to help clients uncover the roots of their pain, strengthen coping skills, and move toward healing and self-acceptance.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Kennesaw State University. My therapeutic approach is humanistic, grounded in empathy and collaboration. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and schema therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful patterns, build insight, and develop practical coping skills.

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone; healing is possible. I’m here to walk beside you as you take that first step toward change. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you on your journey toward balance, growth, and self-discovery.

Hi, I am Ryan Wade, a psychiatrist board certified in Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, and Addiction Medicine. I completed medical school and my Psychiatry residency at Eastern Virginia Medical School, followed by an Addiction Psychiatry fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine. Despite my training in the addiction field, I spend a large portion of my time focusing on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. I find that I typically work most with people who want to consolidate their medication regimen or those who view medication as a tool, not solely the solution to the issues they are facing.

I attempt to meet people where they are and the level they are willing to engage with treatment as this varies significantly from person to person. I believe psychotherapy is quite powerful for most people and routinely recommend it alongside my work with clients, including any medications I would potentially prescribe. 

If you are considering seeing someone for your mental health — or even wondering if what you are feeling day-to-day is "normal" and would like an assessment — feel free to schedule an appointment. There is no pressure to start medication or to even continue in treatment if you feel that it isn't right for you. I look forward to meeting you soon!
