Dr. Brian L. Ragsdale
Clinical Psychologist, Educator, Consultant, Writer & Artist
Talk to me
I'm Dr. Brian Ragsdale — psychologist, coach, and artist. Most people find their way here carrying a question they can't quite take anywhere else. Whatever brings you here, the first step is the same: a conversation. You don't need the right words. Just start.
About art
You saw a piece that stayed with you. You're thinking about a commission, or you want to know the story behind the work. Ask me about it.

About coaching
You're a leader — a physician, a nurse, an executive — carrying a lot, and you want a room of your own to think in. Start with a free thirty-minute conversation: no charge, no obligation.

About consultation
You're a clinician or an agency wondering how psychological consultation works — what it covers, where the responsibility sits, whether it fits your situation. That's a conversation too, and I'm glad to explain it plainly.
