I have been licensed in Wyoming since 1988. I am a clinical social worker and have worked approximately 8 years + as a professional licensed social worker providing clinical evaluations and therapy. I've worked with high risk clients throughout my social work career. I’ve worked federally as a medical social worker, clinician, supervisor, administrator, child protection worker and case management worker for approximately 17+ years. In 2010 I earned a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies with the following concentrations; Social Work, Counselor Education and Native Studies. My Dissertation was published by ProQuest and is entitled "Native Woman and Alcoholism. These experiences have broadened my abilities and skills while helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Dr. Ridgley is wonderful and understanding. She is very insightful, gives me journal prompts and really listens and gives great advice. She’s a kind, calming force.
