My name is Ryan. I graduated from the University of New Mexico with an MA in Counseling in 2022 and in 2019 with a BA in psychology. As a United States Air Force Veteran, I still uphold the core values distilled in me through my time of service: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. I have 9 years of experience in the mental health field ranging from inpatient (DD Waiver and Reactive Attachment disorders) to outpatient (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, Compulsive Disorders, Depression, PTSD, Personality Disorders and even helping individuals find themselves). My approach to mental health is to provide you with a space to process difficult issues, help guide you through the processing and help teach skills needed for the reduction of symptoms through a Cognitive Behavioral Approach while still utilizing skills from other approaches such as Gestalt, Behaviorism, and existentialism. “A truly whole person has to have good guidance and also the ability to act.” – Fritz Perls-

I’m Jane Fritz, a client-centered therapist and addictions counselor with 25 years of experience. I am an LPCC and an MAC (Master Addictions Counselor), and earned a Masters from the University of Northern Colorado. I employ a variety of approaches depending on the needs of the client using modalities such as journaling, art, poetry, and music to help them heal their lives. Part of my work has been at Albuquerque Indian Center where patients use chanting, drumming, listening to Native American flute music, and do mindful meditations. My counseling experience also includes helping adults with co-occurring disorders as well as PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and other mental health issues. I have facilitated groups focused on domestic violence, women's issues, and relapse prevention. Both my parents served in the military, and I am sensitive to the struggles of many veterans.I recharge by walking my dog, reading, watching movies, going to the mountains, and making great salads. I would love to help you process whatever situation or season you find yourself in.
