Online therapy in New York through Peace Love Wellness

Therapy That Leaves Room for Your Whole Self

Hi, I'm Ryn Cagle, LMHC (they/them), a licensed therapist at Peace Love Wellness. I offer online therapy for queer, trans, neurodivergent, chronically ill, disabled, and creative adults who are tired of having to translate themselves before the real work can even begin. I work with individuals and couples.

You can come in with a full story, a messy half-sentence, or just a sense that something has to change. We can start there.

Ryn Cagle, LMHC

Licensed therapist at Peace Love Wellness

"I can be warm and honest at the same time. We can move slowly, and we can still name what is true."

A Little About Ryn

I'm a nonbinary, neurodivergent, chronically ill and disabled therapist. That matters because therapy is never happening in a vacuum. Bodies, systems, families, culture, money, access, grief, gender, faith, work, and shame all come into the room.

My work is supportive, transparent, collaborative, and gently challenging. I won't ask you to pretend things are fine. I also won't rush you past the parts of your story that needed someone to slow down and listen.

Ryn is part of the Peace Love Wellness team in New York, where matching is handled with care. If Ryn is not the strongest fit, PLW can help you consider other clinicians whose styles and focuses may line up better.

A Peace Love Wellness clinician site

Ryn may be the fit. PLW can help you sort that out.

This page is here for people who are specifically wondering about Ryn. Still, therapy fit can be layered. It can include identity, pace, insurance, clinical focus, and the felt sense of whether your body can exhale a little with this person.

Who Often Feels at Home Here

You do not have to fit into one box. These are common reasons people seek Ryn out, and they often overlap.

Queer and Trans Clients

You should not have to spend half the session teaching someone how to respect you. Therapy can hold gender, sexuality, relationships, family stress, safety, grief, joy, and the ordinary parts of being alive.

How Therapy With Ryn Can Feel

Clear. Collaborative. Politically aware. Human.

Systems-Aware Therapy

Pain does not come only from inside a person. Ableism, capitalism, racism, transmisogyny, patriarchy, medical neglect, and family systems can shape what your nervous system has had to survive.

We can name those realities without letting them be the whole story.
