Therapy for Business Professionals in San Clemente
Workplaces are built on relationships—communication, emotional awareness, conflict resolution, trust, and the ability to lead from a grounded center. When stress rises, roles shift, or teams become misaligned, the emotional load often shows up long before the problem feels “work-related.”
At Denney Family Therapy in San Clemente, Ryan Denney supports business professionals, leaders, and teams who want to strengthen communication, improve collaboration, and build healthier work environments. His background in leadership, business, and interpersonal neurobiology allows him to bridge both worlds—supporting the person and the professional behind the role.
Ryan works with adults across industries who want to show up more clearly in their work, improve relationships with colleagues or employees, and move through stress with more confidence and emotional steadiness.
Who This Work Helps
Ryan supports business professionals navigating:
workplace stress and burnout
communication breakdowns
difficulty giving or receiving feedback
role transitions (new manager, new team, promotion)
conflict with colleagues or supervisors
team cohesion challenges
emotional exhaustion or decision fatigue
work/life boundaries
imposter syndrome
identity shifts within leadership
This work is supportive for individuals, business owners, professionals stepping into leadership roles, and teams seeking clarity and alignment.
When Professional Stress Is Rooted in Personal History
Workplace challenges often touch deeper emotional patterns—old family roles, previous trauma, attachment wounds, or long-held beliefs about responsibility, failure, or worth.
Ryan works with individuals whose professional struggles may be connected to:
past trauma
people-pleasing or conflict-avoidant patterns
perfectionism and internal pressure
feeling unseen, unheard, or undervalued
faith-based expectations or identity shifts (see our Faith Deconstruction page)
difficulty trusting others or delegating
Together, you’ll explore how these patterns show up both personally and professionally—and learn how to move through them with self-awareness and steadiness.
