In the nineties, Ryan Dusick and his friends Adam Levine and Jesse Carmichael dreamed about making it big... and against all odds, they did. For Dusick, stardom came to an abrupt halt with the devastating loss of his ability to play drums due to chronic nerve damage.
Ryan lost a decade to liquor and anti-anxiety medication, and has now made a ferocious commitment to recovery, and his current perspective as a professional counselor.
Struggling with physical and mental health challenges, Ryan finally overcame his struggles in 2016, when he began his journey of recovery, culminating in a new life path full of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. Now working as a mental health professional at The Missing Peace Center for Anxiety in Agoura Hills, CA, Ryan is spreading the message that recovery is possible, and some astounding things can come with it.
Ryan Dusick is an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist with an MA in Clinical Psychology and the founding drummer of Maroon 5.
