Dr. Phillips primarily focuses on Integrative Mental Health working with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, neurological dysfunction, ADD/ADHD, and other mental health challenges. He enjoys working with pediatric, adolescent, and adult populations. His integrative ‘mind-body’ approach is especially helpful for those who have not responded well to conventional care. These tools are especially effective for functional conditions such IBS, digestive disorders, insomnia, chronic pain disorders, etc. Dr. Phillips earned a B.A. in Global Studies in 2003 which led to over a decade of work in remote corners of the Indian Himalayas. He is fluent in Nepali and loves South Asian culture. During time abroad, he organized underdeveloped communities to establish schools, health centers, and a regional ambulance service. He helped to train village women as health workers and mobilized communities to prevent disease through hygiene, sanitation, and lifestyle.

Ryan now lives in the foothills of the Rockies with his wife and four children with whom he enjoys an active lifestyle. He also enjoys international travel and has trekked extensively throughout Nepal, India, Tibet, Bhutan, and the Andes. He is most proud of the adventures he has shared with his children which include cycling over the Himalayas, biking across Tibet, and hiking to Everest Base Camp.
