Ryan Nodurft
LCSW-S, LCDC
Clinical Director
Ryan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and has been working as a social worker since 2008. He has experience at all levels of treatment: inpatient, residential, and outpatient. He has worked at several major hospital systems across North Texas including Texas Health Resources and UT Southwestern, where he developed a curriculum for a substance use disorder intensive outpatient program.
I am experienced in treating both substance use disorders and general mental health conditions and is a passionate advocate for those working toward recovery. I firmly believe that intensive outpatient is the most exciting level of care to work at because the person in IOP is starting to re-enter his/her life again and gets the opportunity to put their recovery skills to practice in real-time and real-life situations. I am also a SMART Recovery facilitator.
I believe that one of the most crucial aspects of recovery is finding and establishing a connection with a community of people in recovery. We want to create a sense of community and belonging at Real Deal Therapy & Wellness, and we want to partner with you in your recovery journey.
When not working, Ryan is at home with his wife and young two children. If it’s football season, he is cheering for his hometown team, the New Orleans Saints
“Having worked in clinical care for so long, I was able to develop a program that was all encompassing. Real Deal is so unique in everything we do. Our therapy approach starts in the mind, and we help people learn how to actually apply the solutions (not just learn about them). So, it’s a no-brainer for me (As to why people would choose Real Deal).”
Erin Knebel
LCSW
Therapist
Erin has worked with a diverse range of clients, and has a deep compassion for people from all walks of life. From doing crisis intervention and intensive case management for the largest community mental health provider in Dallas, to working with people struggling with early psychosis at UT Southwestern, she is deeply interested in what makes life worth living for each individual she serves at Real Deal. Beyond mere recovery, Erin focuses on helping each person see and reach their full potential using a holistic combination of cognitive-behavioral skill building, somatic awareness, mindfulness work, and self-exploration through a Jungian lens.
“At its root, addiction is the mind and body’s attempt to solve very real problems. Trying to address addictive behavior without addressing those real problems is bound to fail. With its mental health primary focus, Real Deal prioritizes solving the real problems that produce addiction, and moves people toward a fully actualized life.”
