Getting to know Ryan Bertao

Hi there, I'm Ryan! My name is Ryan Bertao, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Visalia, CA. I work with adults and adolescents, specializing in anger management, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and spirituality. I also bring ten years of experience supporting clients struggling with addiction and substance use disorders. My approach to therapy depends on the unique needs of each client. Commonly used treatment methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Trauma Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. I focus on adults and adolescents navigating life’s challenges. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, I work with clients to help them better understand themselves and their behaviors. My communication style is calm, open, friendly, and empathetic. I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe to talk about anything without judgment. My motivation to become a therapist came from a desire to help others navigate life’s difficulties and gain deeper self-understanding. I value the importance of mental health care and the role a therapist plays in that journey. I know that most people need a safe, nonjudgmental space to process and work through their struggles, and my goal is to provide that space. When it comes to goal setting, I take a collaborative approach. Together, we will create and monitor goals, knowing they may evolve throughout treatment. Your first session with me will focus on getting to know you and how I can support your mental health goals. We will work on building a connection and creating a safe space to better understand your needs.
