Great listener. Has a good grasp of what Im saying and can make educated inferences that are helpful and dont feel as if he is trying to diagnose me. He alllows me to open up and can help me unravel how I feel.

Coming into my first session, I was very nervous and anxious as this was my first form of mental health treatment. But Ryan was a very warm presence and my anxiety was lifted after a few minutes of talking to him. He's a great therapist and he made the idea of therapy less anxiety inducing for me

This was my first session, the time felt limited and we barely scratched the surface but he gave me some helpful information, that may address one of my many concerns. This made me feel slightly more at ease, overall.
