Meet Mary Ryan - Elite Therapy Solutions

Mary Ryan is an occupational therapist from Elite Therapy Solutions, who provides services at the West Chester Area YMCA.

Mary obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Dallas where she began pursuing a career in high school education. She soon discovered that her favorite parts of teaching involved working one-on-one with students. She found occupational therapy to be an exciting combination of creativity and practicality, while allowing her to make a personal connection with patients.

Mary went on to pursue her master's degree in occupational therapy and graduated from the University of New England in 2022. She finds her work both meaningful and fun - and loves to see her patients experience personal wins when they achieve their goals.

In her free time, Mary enjoys spending as much time outside as she can. In 2016 she thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and hopes to piece together a section-hike of another long-distance trail in North Carolina called the Mountains to Sea Trail! When she’s not outside, you can find Mary spending time with family and friends, enjoying music, cooking, or attending a philosophy seminar.
