Getting to know Ryan Black
Ryan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Seattle, with 10 years' experience. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science from Hope College in Holland, MI, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master's Degree of Social Work from the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg, and Tampa, Fl respectively. In addition, Ryan had one year of graduate level coursework in Clinical Exercise Physiology at the University of Georgia, in Athens. This is Ryan’s second profession. He worked as a personal trainer for approximately 10 years in Michigan, Georgia, Texas and Florida prior to moving into his current role as a psychotherapist.
Ryan believes in helping to empower individuals to realize their inner ability to change - to move their lives in the direction that brings them calm, peacefulness, acceptance and understanding of their inner turmoil- while improving ability to cope with negative emotions and manage disagreeable behaviors.
Hi! I’m Ryan, it’s nice to have you read about me! I’ll be your therapist! Hopefully. What do you think so far? I honestly don’t have a lot of hobbies, I’m simple. In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym. I’m an avid lifter and have been for 27 years. I love to push heavy things slowly… I guess it’s my thing. I love to read and do so nightly. Stephen King is a favorite! I also like sci-fi, and love Dr. Who. (I have a Tardis.)
I am myself in sessions, and fully authentic, (as you may have surmised given the above) I ask the same of you! Be yourself! Always. Be who you are. Bring yourself into the session. Only through being your true self can you learn how to move forward.
I’ll look forward to getting to know you!
