Ryan Porter, LPC
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Family Care Center - Commitment to offering appointments in days not months.
I am an LPC therapist who has been treating clients for over 20 years. I am also a certified Drug and Alcohol counselor. I have worked with families, children, DCFS, and foster care, adolescents, couples, and adults with varying diagnoses and issues. I have been trained in treating PTSD/Trauma using Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My approach in therapy is first above all to establish a connection and trust with all my clients using personal life experiences, humor, and common interests. I am a strong ally of LGBTQAI+ community and its rights.
