Hi, I'm Ryan Terry. My life is a tapestry of roles—counselor, surfer, seeker, guide. Each role has deepened my understanding of our human journey, especially the intricate dance with trauma and addiction. My academic journey, grounded in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and enriched with EMDR therapy, is just the beginning. ryanterryemdr.com

In the crafted space where science meets the sacred, Ryan Terry shapes a therapeutic journey uniquely attuned to the individual. His mastery spans the art of mindfulness, the transformative power of EMDR for trauma healing, the depths of Jungian psychology, and the nuanced realms of addiction recovery, attachment strengthening, dream exploration, and kinetic therapies.
Under the mentorship of Dr. Andrew Dodo, Ryan has ascended to the role of an Approved EMDR Trainer, marking a pinnacle of excellence in trauma therapy. This distinction is a testament to his unwavering dedication to honing his craft, ensuring a practice that is both compassionate and bespoke, finely tuned to the intricacies of each healing path.
EMDR Therapy
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories.
EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes, showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences (Maxfield, 2019).
In 2021 I met my mentor Dr Andrew Dobo. He trained me before certifying me in EMDR therapy and we work closely to this day. His transformational approach to EMDR is what I work to facilitate and teach as a consultant.

About Me + My Mission
As a wounded healer, lifelong learner, and guardian of timeless healing wisdom, my heart is fully invested in the well-being of our community and every soul within it. I'm drawn to all that fosters resilience, happiness, health, and wholeness in us. With a practice rooted in compassion and purposeful living, I stand by the belief that within each person lies their own profound answers. Sometimes, all we need is a gentle nudge towards where and how to uncover these truths. The journey to therapy, through the terrain of afflictions and addictions, is, in essence, a quest to discover oneself.
Holding a Bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida and a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Florida, I've been a guiding light as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2015. My path has been rich and varied, allowing me the privilege to connect with a diverse spectrum of humanity—from Native American youth to individuals facing profound challenges, and from those on the fringes to celebrities and leaders in the business world. My aim transcends symptom relief, striving instead to reveal the boundless landscape of our being, much like the sun’s rays dispel the morning mist, inviting us to embrace and cultivate our inherent joy.
In 2021, under the mentorship of Dr. Andrew Dobo, I deepened my journey with EMDR therapy, a relationship that continues to shape my practice and teaching today. My expertise now spans mindfulness, EMDR therapy, trauma healing, Jungian Psychology, and more, integrating holistic practices like Ayurveda, breathwork, and movement therapies. My approach is both scientific and sacred, offering bespoke guidance on your path to self-discovery.
My personal mission is simple yet profound—to embody kindness and support as a man, husband, father, son, friend, and neighbor in the vibrant community of Jacksonville Beach and beyond.
