Helping Your Child Find Joy, Happiness, & Fulfillment
ABOUT US
Meet Ryan Ploch, LISW-CP
Hello, my name is Ryan Ploch. I am a licensed and professional children’s mental health therapist. I have received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Oakland University and a Master of Social Work degree at Michigan State University. I am married to my beautiful wife Bekah and have four awesome children - Madelyn, Emma, Annabelle, and Clayton. We also had a child named Calvin with Trisomy 13, who passed away after a short time. As a professional, I have worked with children for over 15 years in a multitude of settings - including individual and family therapy, groups, residential treatment programs, and inner-city schools. There is nothing I have more passion for than watching children overcome past circumstances, trauma, and struggles. I strive to care for your child as my own, support them through the hardest of situations, and make a long-lasting difference in their lives. Children are incredibly resilient and strong, but sometimes they need a little help to find their inner fortitude.

TEEN INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Teenagers are in a difficult part of their journey where they need your support and guidance but also look to find their own identities and self-worth. They are often managing big stressors, like school, friendships, and significant others, but are still developing the skills and understanding to know how to manage them effectively.
YOUNG ADULT INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Young adults may be going to college, moving away for the first time, starting career training, or beginning their first jobs. Sometimes the transition from a high school lifestyle to building their adult life can create feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness that can be too difficult to manage.
FAMILY THERAPY
Children’s difficulties and struggles can also be incredibly taxing and weigh on the family as a whole. A child may need support to express their feelings and needs to parents or siblings, but also sometimes family members need to have the opportunity to open up to the child. These are moments to create togetherness and work together to make relationships better.
PARENTAL SESSIONS
Parents are such an important part of the therapeutic process. As the child grows and changes, it’s important for parents to also be learning about the child’s needs, wants, and what they can do to support the child. Parents can gain valuable skills and strategies that can make a lifelong impact on their child’s mental, emotional, and behavioral health.
