"I believe everyone should be treated as a human and an individual, so I try to be as genuine as possible while making sure that the person I'm meeting with has substantial input in treatment decisions."

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!

"With years of experience meeting clients, their partners, and their families at their most vulnerable times, I am eager and ready to join with you in navigating whatever you're dealing with, and what comes next."

Shelby Molloseau is a fully Licensed Masters Social Worker (MSW) with 5 years of experience providing intervention, support, and therapeutic services to individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals with severe and persistent mental illness, people in crisis and/or with significant trauma history, and people living with HIV. She enjoys working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with identity concerns, navigating trauma history, sex and sexuality concerns, managing depression and anxiety, and coping with life transitions - including career changes, parenthood, and grief and loss. She has worked as a case manager and therapist for people living with HIV, provided therapy and support services to individuals who identify on the LBGTQIA+ spectrum, and worked for many years with individuals, couples, and families as a psychiatric social worker in inpatient mental health units. 

Shelby completed her Bachelors in Clinical/Community Psychology from the University of Michigan-Flint and her Master of Social Work (MSW) from Michigan State University. With years of experience in acute, crisis settings, she utilizes an ability to quickly establish a warm and open connection with clients and employs a number of techniques, focusing on what will best meet that person's individual needs. Shelby's approach is both solution-focused and emotion-focused, pulling on techniques that are strengths-based and rooted in elements of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Shelby's practice is informed by the concept that therapy is a meeting between experts - the therapist brings the expertise of techniques in therapeutic practice, but the client (or clients) bring the expertise of their own experience and what will best work for them. The most effective therapy, in Shelby's opinion, focuses on meeting the client where they want to start and working together to better understand where we are, where we want to go, and how we are going to get there. 

The reality of living is that while all humans experience lovely, beautiful moments - tough times are just as common (and at times can seem to far outweigh the good). Shelby welcomes clients at any stage in life, and recognizes each client may have different reasons for engaging in therapy. Whether seeking to understand themselves, their emotions, and their actions better, or trying to make sense of the world around them and the difficult paths we all must walk at times, or reaching out for support in furthering their goals and enriching their lives, clients can expect kindness, empathy, and compassion in their relationship with Shelby.
