TUCSON THERAPISTS
Luke Ryan, LAC
Hello! My Name is Luke Ryan and my pronouns are he/they
As a Therapist, I am here to help you navigate different life paths, celebrations and barriers. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, incorporating holistic wellness into my practice. Some Therapeutic Interventions I use include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. I believe reliance on empowerment and self-discovery are crucial to healing.
I am originally from New Hampshire but have moved all around the country! My education includes receiving my Bachelor of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2015. I received my Masters of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University in 2022. The Mental health field has been my passion, previously working in Crisis Therapy, Substance Abuse, and in Rehabilitation Centers, helping those balance somatic and mental health recovery.
I have worked with all different ages to process trauma, anxiety, stress and life crises that can occur. Discovering one's identity is the first step to celebrating our true self. We will work together to learn self-advocacy, and build an authentic self path. As a queer person myself, supporting the LGBTQIA2S+ has long been a passion of mine, and building a psychologically safe space for the community. I work with clients starting with kids at age 10 and up through adults of all ages, including couples and families.
When I am out of the office, I enjoy hiking in the Tucson mountain ranges and exploring coffee shops. I also enjoy yoga, meditation, ceramics and painting.
Ty Gleeson, LMSW
Hi, I’m Ty and my pronouns are he/they.
My work as a therapist is grounded in partnership—I believe you are the expert on your own experience, and my role is to walk alongside you as we navigate life’s challenges, stressors, and healing together. I recognize and deeply value the importance of a strong therapist-client relationship in a successful therapy experience, and I am very much looking forward to meeting you and seeing how we can work together. My approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), always through a trauma-informed lens.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a focus in Criminology from Montana State University in 2017, and my Master of Social Work from Arizona State University in 2025. Along the way, I’ve worked on a crisis and suicide hotline, provided housing case management, and facilitated community education for youth on healthy relationships.
As a queer and trans person, I am passionate about supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and creating a space where everything you are and everything you could be is welcome. I also believe that healing does not and cannot happen in a vacuum– our lives are shaped by our relationships, communities, and the systems we exist within. Because of this, I approach therapy with an understanding that mental health is deeply connected to the world around us.
I’ve had the privilege of working with people in all ages and stages of life, from children to elders, and I especially love working with teens and young adults as they explore questions of identity, belonging, and authentic selfhood. In our work together, you can expect curiosity, compassion, and collaboration, with the goal of helping you feel more connected to yourself and your community.
