Ryan Sullivan

M.S. Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling

Queer Trans Mixed-Race Curious Grounded Affirming
“Therapy can be a place to get curious about who you are, what you’ve survived, and what meaning you want to build next.”

Ryan is 30 years old, queer/trans, mixed-race, and full of curiosity, intention, and drive. They are attuned to the places where identity, loss, family, culture, spirituality, disability and survival intersect.

Clients who work with Ryan can expect a thoughtful, collaborative space where they do not have to have everything figured out before beginning. Whether you are grieving, questioning, transitioning, untangling old family or religious wounds, facing mortality, or trying to understand who you are becoming, Ryan meets the work with care, depth, and respect.

Outside of therapy, Ryan enjoys reading fantasy novels, walking their giant dog Bruno, and exploring the beautiful nature Portland has to offer.
