Ryan O'Millian Therapist from Boulder Psychological Services

Ryan O’Millian, LPC, LAC

Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addictions Counselor

Adult Individual Therapy: I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional distress and personal suffering. Building a collaborative relationship in therapy is the single most important factor in therapeutic success. This relationship will be the keystone for facilitating your personal growth and understanding of yourself not just intellectually, but also emotionally. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try.

 Adolescent Individual Therapy: In my work with adolescents, I focus on helping them build the critical life skill of expressing their thoughts and feelings in words rather than actions. I do this by building a supportive therapeutic relationship where they feel safe to explore what’s really going on inside. In our work, they will learn to name and understand their emotions more clearly, strengthening their sense of self and helping them navigate the challenges of growing up.

 Group Therapy: A relational psychoanalytic process group can be an enlivening, transformative experience that supports you in forming the relationships and sense of self that you long for. In this group, you will have opportunities to explore relational patterns as they emerge in the here and now. You can also take risks and try new ways of connecting with yourself and others.

 My Approach: My practice is located in Boulder, CO, and online. I am psychoanalytically trained through the Colorado Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, the New York Center for the Advancement of Group Studies, and the Chicago Institute for Clinical Social Work. My treatment approach is informed by relational and classical psychoanalysis, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, somatic psychology, contemplative psychotherapy, and existential philosophy.
