I Choose Change

Jennifer Slingerland Ryan knows a thing or two about kids and families. First, she knows they are joyous, exhilarating, loving and so darn fun. Second, she knows they suck your life dry and make you weep like a baby.

By day she’s a psychotherapist; by night she’s a mom and wife. She claims to love therapizing couples, educating parents, reading dystopian fiction and sleeping in her free time (read: she never sleeps).

Jennifer has spent over 12 years in private practice working with individuals, couples, and parents who are faced with kid-drama, mamma-drama, and family-drama, and she claims that although some stories make a grown woman cry, she loves it.

Together, I Choose Change are Licensed Counselors, Registered Play Therapists, Expressive Art Therapy building stronger families and marriages providing counseling, psychotherapy and life coaching for adults, children and teens.

Face-to-face we serve Allen, Plano, McKinney, Wylie, Lucas, Sachse, and Fairview, and online and email counseling around the globe! All counselors at I Choose Change use The TEA Process© – a unique combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory developed by Jennifer Slingerland Ryan, LPC-S, as a basis for our counseling. The TEA Process© (Meaning: “Thoughts-Emotions-Actions”) of change is simple and easy to understand. If you’ve received Cognitive Behavioral Therapy before, chances are you walked away with more questions than answers about how to utilize the skills you were taught that would last for the duration of your life.

At I Choose Change, we encourage change that lasts a lifetime for yourself, your relationships, and your family by getting to the root cause of your pain. The TEA Process© is a lifestyle change.
