About
Ryan begins the psychotherapeutic process using person-centered therapy techniques, where the individual is given the autonomy to explore their presenting concerns freely without judgment. He then shifts his theoretical orientation to the needs of the patient. Ryan is passionate about counseling theory and frequently educates himself and his patients about the most appropriate evidence-based practices. He also draws from his experience, including working in residential mental health, inpatient dual-diagnosis, and partial hospitalization programs. Ryan believes that the patient-therapist relationship is a sacred bond reflective of one of the most basic human traits: the need to collaborate rather than face life’s challenges alone.
