More about Ryan
- 9 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
My clients are adults of all ages, genders, races, sexual orientations, religions, and cultures. They are interested in working with a therapist who will help them heal from stress, trauma, and unconscious conflicts. My approach while direct, is comforting and understanding. A compassionate and accepting approach has the power to change our lives. I believe 'Disorders' are just our body's way of pointing us in the direction of change and growth. They are not labels forever, nor weakness, but they point to the very strength within us to face our fears and become our true selves.
