I have worked closely with Ryan since the beginning of his career as a therapist. From the start Ryan’s instincts have been very accurate, which gives him a unique understanding of his clients. Ryan is extremely attuned and present with his clients, which helps him feel and understand things on a deeper level. One reason Ryan gets such great results is because he walks his talk. Ryan is constantly learning and growing, which only adds to his skillset as a therapist and coach. Ryan is one of the best therapists I know and as a result his clients experience excellent results.Crystal Kennedy, M.A., AMFT
I’ve had the pleasure of being Ryan’s colleague for the past two years at an IOP for those who suffer with anxiety and PTSD. During that time, I have enjoyed collaborating with him in staff meetings as we’ve discussed strategies and ideas on how best to help our clients. I find his demeanor to be calm, engaging and open. Ryan is excellent at using his life experience and education to relate to his clients. As a Hypnotherapist in private practice, I have referred several clients to Ryan for talk therapy. My clients have reported back feeling heard and understood by Ryan. They were able to gain a different perspective through his guidance.Jesslyn Hoeft Shani, CHt “The Zen Queen”
