Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing for Individuals and Families with Nature-Based and Outdoor Therapy sessions offered
My Practice
Therapy is a collaboration and it is a journey to wellness, recovery and new life. I have a holistic, comprehensive approach that integrates the mind and the body, through the perspectives of Somatic Experiencing, a type of somatic therapy, and depth therapy. Healing, in my experience, takes place in different settings. As such, I offer nature-based therapy sessions, as well as office visits.
Step One
Call or email for a FREE consultation. We’ll set a time to talk briefly to see how I can be of service to you.
Step Two
Based on our consultation, we’ll create a personal therapy plan for you (or your family) according to your needs and goals. Perhaps, you’re struggling in relationship, or facing a difficult period in your life, or you have the desire to be your best and happiest self. Whatever the case is, I can help.
Step Three
As your therapy progresses, life becomes easier and more fulfilling. Studies show both short and long-term benefits of therapy, even years afterwards. Clients apply tools and insights to their lives, improving relationships, boosting self-esteem, and reducing stress, pain and other symptoms. Therapy is powerful and life-changing.
Ryan George
Certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP)
Welcome! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Santa Barbara, California. I enjoy working with diverse clients, from adolescents, families, and adults, to BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Jewish and veteran clients, on a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship struggles, posttraumatic symptoms, and for self-renewal and growth. These are a few broad categories. Each person, though, is unique and unconfined by a category and by associated symptoms. My specialties are trauma recovery, somatic therapy and Soul retrieval, including nature-based therapy. I have a keen interest in dream exploration and Jungian analysis too, and when not at work, I love to explore the wild outdoors.
