More About Me

My name is Ryan Burgess, and I am a Registered Mental Health Therapist Intern. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from FloridaAtlantic University and my master's in psychology from Walden University.

I was born and raised in Coral Springs, FL, and served ten years inthe United States Army and Florida National Guard.  As a militaryintelligence Captain, I had the opportunity to lead brave men andwomen in the fight against violent extremism. I credit my militaryservice with shaping my identity, instilling principles and valuessuch as integrity, honesty, and respect. I have a profound respect forthe uniqueness of every individual and believe everyone has somethingspecial to offer the world.

The world is an obstacle course and we all need help occasionally innavigating it. There is a solution to every problem. Learning toaccept and deal with the answers we don’t like defines us asindividuals.  I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as atherapeutic approach to identify and alter negative thought patternsor cognitive distortions.  I can assist you to improve your quality oflife through self-reflection and positive thinking.

I am very passionate about my goal of helping others. There is nogreater reward than having a role in assisting someone turn their lifearound and overcome personal struggles. I have experience in assistingclients with addiction issues, depression, and anxiety.  I have workedwith diverse populations of individuals from all age groups. You canalways count on speaking with someone who genuinely cares about yourwell-being and is committed to helping you achieve your goals. I lookforward to working with you!
