About R. Ryan Gunton, PhD
Life can shift suddenly. The routines, identities, and relationships that once felt predictable and grounding can change in ways we didn’t expect. For many, these transitions—whether subtle or life-altering—create a sense of uncertainty, disconnection, or loss. Dr. R. Ryan Gunton specializes in helping individuals navigate these moments with compassion, clarity, and a steady sense of support.
In his work, Dr. Gunton partners with clients to understand what has changed, how it is impacting their sense of self, and what they need to regain emotional equilibrium. He recognizes that transitions often reshape us in profound ways; while we may not return to who we once were, we can grow into a stronger, more authentic version of ourselves. His approach is grounded in collaboration, emotional insight, and an understanding that healing happens when clients feel safe, respected, and fully seen.
Dr. Gunton creates a therapeutic space where exploring identity, loss, resilience, and personal growth becomes possible. Through reflective conversations and evidence-based guidance, he helps clients rediscover their inner resources, rebuild confidence, and move toward a future that feels meaningful and grounded. His work is especially supportive for individuals navigating major life changes, grief, identity shifts, relational transitions, and moments of emotional overwhelm.
With a calm presence and a deep respect for the human experience, Dr. Gunton helps clients understand not only what has changed—but who they have the potential to become.
