Jill Ryan, PhD, is a licensed psychologist with specializations in Neuropsychology and Health Psychology. Dr. Ryan has restructured her practice over the past year to focus on research-based evaluation and treatment of older adults, an area in which she has long-standing interest and advanced training. Her focus is on promoting healthy aging by identifying ways of maximizing strengths to balance challenges. Age is just a number and everyone ages differently. So, getting to know the whole person including relationships, stressors, diet, exercise and lifestyle choices is necessary to identify ways of providing support to achieve the highest quality of health and life possible. As a former public health official, she is committed to coordination of care and frequently works with and refers to providers across other disciplines.
