Joseph Ryan, LMFT

Joseph Ryan, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Joseph! My parents once asked me how I would describe my view of life in one sentence, and I replied that my philosophy was "I don't know." I felt ashamed of using that phrase, but I now believe it was not a weak answer, just an incomplete thought. As a therapist for more than two decades, "I don't know" has expanded into words I often use with clients I have the privilege to work with: "I don't know exactly what you have experienced, but I want to know. And I want to use all of my skills—empathy, insight, and knowledge among them—so that we can figure out together how to make your life better for you." Whatever it takes to enhance your life, I am willing to do. I may not know how to do that at our first session, but I will definitely put all my effort into learning how. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy Counseling from California State University, Northridge, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support individuals and families through their unique challenges. My approach We all struggle to live lives of meaning that make us happy. Clients come to therapy with individual pains that emerge out of their life stories. A good therapist creates an atmosphere of understanding and acceptance. Then, the client and therapist work closely together to discover meaning and enhance happiness. It's not easy, but isn't life better when you feel you have a partner in your struggles? My focus My "ideal client" is someone who is ready to change, which means that practically everyone is ideal. The "ideal therapist" is someone who cares about the client and is willing to do whatever it takes to help the client achieve the desired changes.
