At Ryan Rivers Coaching, I work with healthcare professionals who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck trying to care for everyone else while running on empty themselves. If charting, staffing issues, and emotional overload are following you home, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Using evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I’ll help you build real-world resilience, navigate workplace stress with more ease, and reconnect with the values that brought you into healthcare in the first place. Together, we’ll create space for you to set healthy boundaries, quiet the inner critic, and take meaningful action toward a career and life that feel sustainable and aligned with who you are.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a proven, research-backed approach that helps people respond to workplace stress in healthier, more flexible ways. Studies show ACT can reduce burnout and anxiety while improving well-being and performance at work through its three core processes: Openness, Awareness, and Engagement.

Openness is about making space for difficult thoughts and emotions instead of fighting them. By dropping the struggle, people free up energy to focus on what truly matters at work and in life.

Awareness means noticing what’s happening in the present moment — in your body, mind, and environment — without judgment. This mindful attention helps people catch stress earlier and respond with intention instead of reacting on autopilot.

Engage is about taking purposeful action guided by your values, even when stress or discomfort shows up. It turns insight into forward movement, helping people show up as their best selves and make meaningful progress on what matters most.

II highly recommend Ryan's services. His outlook on burnout in the healthcare setting is a much needed vision for our healthcare providers of this day and age.

Ryan really is irreplaceable and there is no one I know of in the health care setting that can do what he does.

Ryan Rivers, MSOT, is an Occupational Therapist trained at Washington University in St. Louis. After nearly a decade in skilled nursing, he witnessed a consistent gap in healthcare: the intensity of stress clinicians face far exceeds the practical tools and training available to help them navigate it.
Today, Ryan supports frontline staff and leaders with evidence-informed, embodied strategies that strengthen resilience, clarify values, and build sustainable ways of working—so healthcare professionals can continue to care deeply without burning out.
