Ryan Denney, MA

Men, fathers, families, and professionals

Ryan Denney, MA · Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) #155800 · Supervised by Rachel Daggett, MS, LMFT #107858
Employed by Rachel Daggett Family Therapy, PC (The Bloom Room)

Before entering the mental health field, Ryan spent more than two decades in software consulting and business leadership. That history shows up in the work: he is comfortable with people whose stress is bound up with responsibility, performance, and the roles they carry.

Ryan works with men navigating burnout and emotional shutdown, professionals in career transition, fathers trying to hold work and family at the same time, and families caught in patterns of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. His approach is steady, collaborative, and systems-focused — he draws on parts work, existential reflection on meaning and identity, and systems-based relational therapy. Walking and golf sessions are available for clients who think better while moving.

In family work, Ryan does not treat one person as the problem. Sessions focus on communication, repairing conflict, emotional regulation, boundaries, parenting dynamics, and rebuilding trust after distance.

Ryan sees clients from age 5 through adulthood, in person in San Clemente and by telehealth anywhere in California. He is a father of four.

Jennie Denney, MA

Trauma, EMDR, and faith transitions

Jennie Denney, MA · Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) #153029 · Supervised by Rachel Daggett, MS, LMFT #107858
Employed by Rachel Daggett Family Therapy, PC (The Bloom Room)

Jennie works with adults, couples, parents, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, self-harm recovery, faith deconstruction, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Many of the people she sees arrive carrying experiences that don’t fit neatly into a single diagnosis. Her work is shaped by her clinical training alongside her own experience as a parent and partner who has moved through seasons of loss, change, and faith reconstruction.

Her approach is relational and nervous-system aware — attachment-informed work, trauma-informed EMDR, parts-based approaches, and walking sessions when they help. She emphasizes safety and pacing over quick solutions, on the view that deep processing is what actually holds.

Jennie sees clients from age 10 through adulthood, in person in San Clemente and by telehealth anywhere in California.
