“I chose Ryan due to his schedule allowing for evening virtual visits and his bio stating that he is solution oriented, as I am. I have met with Ryan for months now and he has created a safe space for me to open up about my trauma and worked with me to help me remain present and discover myself. I am grateful that I picked Ryan, he is a fantastic therapist and I look forward to talking with him each week.”
