My name is Ryan, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I graduated with my MS in Clinical Mental Health Care at Bay Path University in 2018. I have worked in an outpatient setting, as a therapist, since the fall of 2018. Prior to completing my program, I gained valuable experience through Crisis services as a clinician and support counselor. I have worked with people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds. My therapeutic approach is eclectic with attention to client centered, a more holistic approach which encompasses the entire body as we tend to suffer as a whole being. I want to work with those to reintegrate those parts. People often do not realize the power of our thoughts and how it can negatively impact our overall wellbeing. I often tell people that our brain is a powerful tool. We are built to survive rather than thrive- this is a primordial skill that has not left us, but we have more effective tools. It is important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable space to talk about uncomfortable life situations. I do well within the neurodivergent community, and have aided in navigating difficult milestones in their lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session it is most important to gather background information, primary concerns, and to build initial rapport. I think it is especially important to make someone feel at ease with any discomfort going into first session. Overall, I hope to provide a safe space and bring a level of comfort to help someone to feel comfortable.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In my opinion my greatest strength as a therapist is that I am authentic, non-judgmental, and most importanly present. I value each person as an individual and not a number. I believe people can tell-if not feel-when someone isn't authentic and fully present with them. As social beings we deserve that to feel heard and understood.
