						Shawn Ryan
					
					
						As a Registered Addiction Counselor, Certified Compulsive Gambling Counselor, and Certified Clinical Supervisor, I bring both professional expertise and personal experience to the heart of addiction recovery. With 14 years in long-term recovery myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and the transformative potential of this journey.
Since 2019, I’ve been dedicated to working in residential treatment settings, helping individuals navigate substance use disorders, gambling addiction, and co-occurring issues. My approach is rooted in empathy, accountability, and evidence-based care. I believe in meeting people where they are—and supporting them as they rebuild healthier, purpose-driven lives.
I’m passionate about clinical supervision and developing the next generation of ethical, compassionate professionals in the field. Whether I’m working with clients or clinicians, my goal is always the same: to foster connection, inspire hope, and support lasting change.
