Dr. Ryan Janis Psychologist & Supervisor |
I founded Downtown Mind Wellness in 2013 with the idea to offer high quality psychotherapy services. My intern at the time, Dr. Lindsay Kramer, and I opened a tiny office with a window facing a giant concrete wall in the middle of DTLA. We were informed by the property manager that our “office” was meant to be a supply closet. We made it work, and sure enough, word spread quickly about the level of services we were providing. We worked hard, and our reputation for being a super reliable, solid, and modern psychotherapy practice grew. Fast forward to today — We now have 11 offices and over 20 clinicians providing psychotherapy, medication management, and testing & assessment services. Dr. Lindsay became a licensed psychologist years ago. She is still with our practice, and she now has interns of her own. I’m confident you will find your therapist to be extraordinarily reliable, experienced, and active in helping you overcome personal obstacles to become your best self. Frankly, I’m very proud of the team here at DMW. We are a team, a family, and best of all, we challenge one another to become better and better through a collaborative approach. Plus, if you’re in need of psychiatric medication, we have Nurse Practitioners on staff who are in regular coordination with our therapists to ensure your optimal care. If you ever have a concern or question, please feel free to contact me directly.
