Ryan has been immensely helpful to me. During a very hard time in my life Ryan gave me the tools for self-reflection that I needed. He has helped me face some uncomfortable truths, and challenged me, but this has been my own process, an aspect that I greatly appreciate. Today my mental health is much better.

Ryan has been an absolute godsend. I can't even explain how much he has helped me through the darkest part of my life, thank you so much Ryan. I don't have the words to express how grateful I am

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Though only having a few meeting with Ryan, his openness and willingness to help me through my grieving process has been a breath of fresh air. He is patient, kind, understanding, and acknowledges my feelings, even when I sometimes don't understand what I myself am feeling. I look forward to our sessions every week.

Reviewed September 2022

Ryan is clearly a very experienced therapist and has some great tools at his disposal for dealing with my specific issue of depression. However, my experience of his service felt very rushed and he did not dedicate enough time to my needs, both in video sessions and via the in-app messaging. It was also very hard to find any available times for sessions with him, and I felt like no care or concern was given to my individual needs and issues.

Reviewed June 2022

Ryan is a good and sensitive listener and clinician. Goals are planned and reviewed, but needs and talk are fully acknowledged by Ryan. I am very happy with therapy with him so far, even at tbis early stage.
