Liza Ryan LICSW, CRC

Welcome to Green Peaks Counseling!

​

In therapy, I focus on creating a supportive and trauma informed environment where clients can feel safe and heard. My approach is rooted in building trusting relationships with clients and providing psychoeducation around PTSD, Substance Use Disorder and other diagnoses. It is my mission to provide clients with a nonjudgmental and stigma free environment where self respect and empowerment is promoted.  I believe in principles of harm reduction and strongly promote multiple paths to recovery. I'm passionate about providing professional and compassionate care for all of my clients. I draw from experiences working as a Certified Recovery Coach, On Call Crisis Support, supporting Individuals who have been Unhoused,  Case Management Services, and time consulting with Residential Based Trauma and Addiction Treatment Programs. 

 

Although I have been happy to call Vermont home for a number of years, I hail from Buffalo, NY and am highly attuned to all things Buffalo food and sports. I have three lovely dogs at home who take up much of my free time but I also enjoy cooking, gardening, playing hockey, spending time with my partner, participating in advocacy work and enjoying the beautiful landscape VT has to offer.
