Exploring what it means to be present & authentic.

Hello—my name is Ryan.

I’m a therapist by trade, and an existential philosopher by practice. I help people find meaning and purpose in the uncertainties of everyday life. 

In addition to mentoring other therapists and working with dads, I write a monthly newsletter on story and meaning making — “Cultivating Mythic Imagination.” I also run a private pay group practice called PRAXIS, and take on a select few of my own therapy clients.

If you are interested in working with me, contact me here.

Warmly,

Ryan Forsell, M.A., LMFT

FOR THERAPISTS

Having run a successful solo private pay practice for over seven years and now having a growing group practice, I am well versed in what it takes to be your authentic self and run a sustainable practice that gets real results for your clients. I offer clinical consultations, group training, and intentional meetups for therapists looking to grow into their unique gifts as healers.

FOR DADS

Dads in our generation are spending significantly more time with our kids than dads in past generations. This is beautiful as it shows how much we are prioritizing our families. BUT how do we do that well and still build a business, provide for our family, be present, mindful, maintain meaningful relationships, and live into our own dreams?

The challenges of being a dad in this current day and age are vast and evolving. I journey alongside numerous men in exploring what it means for them to find meaning and purpose in that journey.

MY GROUP PRACTICE - PRAXIS

Praxis is a relational psychotherapy practice nestled in the San Gabriel foothills, just outside of Los Angeles.

Our team of highly relational therapists helps individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, questions of life purpose, barriers to relational intimacy, and experiences with trauma find clarity in their lives and cultivate healthier relationships with others and themselves. We are committed to creating brave spaces with genuine connection that enable people to grow into the person they are becoming.
