Ryan S. Oakley
Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), Aletha Executive Director, MAMFT, EMDR Trained, Lyra Provider
The counseling relationship is unique, expansive, effective, and one that has truly intrigued me for years. I also love and practice the art of storytelling. Therapy is an excellent way to find answers, to discover the truth, and confront your greatest challenges. I am passionate about helping anyone tell their story, no matter how difficult the details. My passions for counseling involve processing through emotions, including depression, anxiety, but also joy, and success. I find I resonate well with people who are struggling with unhealthy relationships, and need guidance on how to form and reinforce healthy boundaries. I also am honored whenever someone finds comfort in sharing their hardships and where they want to grow.
Growth & Healing.
Ryan has a deep value for every person he serves, and over the course of his experience, one thing is certain--we never stop growing, and in the midst of our lives we not only experience deep joy and achievement, but also great loss and heartache. There is little we can find that is more healing or empowering than sharing life with someone who cares. We hope Ryan can be that person for you.
In-person and remote options.
Ryan’s office is conveniently located in Tyler Texas. He is able to provide teletherapy as well.
Tailored Services.
Counseling, over the years, has expanded its scope in helping individuals in a myriad of ways, be that processing through difficult trauma, making complex decisions, healing hurt relationships, or advancing your career. One of Ryan’s deepest passions is to find the right fit for you. He has also connections with several therapists throughout the East Texas area, and we are more than willing to search for the right referrals when appropriate.
Professional Family.
We want to introduce two very important members of Ryan’s professional family: our office manager, Beth; and Ryan’s Mentor, Chris.

I am the owner/operator and the lead therapist at Alethia. I have been counseling since 1996. I love to come alongside to challenge and encourage people to live in freedom! I started counseling in Tyler in 2001 and have continued to have a passion for this community. Coming to counseling is hard, and it takes courage, but I have sought to gather a team of therapists who are caring, professional and competent to come alongside us when we need a hand… and we all have times like that. Take a big step toward a free-er, full-er life. Personal Site
