I am Ria Flanagan, MA MFT, LISAC, CSAT, CMAT. I own and operate a private practice specializing in trauma and addiction. I also supervise associate counselors and also provide coaching and consultation services. My favorite workshop to run is a 3-day intensive "Empowerment Workshop," taking survivors of trauma from pain to freedom based on modalities created by Pia Mellody and Dr. Peter Levine. I provide somatic coaching, which empowers married couples recovering from betrayal trauma to move toward forgiveness and deeper intimacy. I published the book Happiness is an Inside Job Playbook in August 2024 and recently started hosting a podcast, Happiness Playbook Series, on YouTube, Spotify, and other podcast sites. I interview experts, survivors, doctors, healers, and otherwise, humans who want to give back to their community by sharing their wisdom.
My book just received an Award from Bookfest 2024 in the non-fiction category: Success and Happiness.
