In the first session, Michael Ryan gave me insight into something about myself that I never realized but once he brought it to light it seemed so obvious.

Welcome!
My name is Mike Ryan. I am a Christian Counselor, specializing in marital conflict and men‘s issues. While trained to address a range of mental health issues(i.e. anxiety, depression and trauma), I have a passion for helping high conflict marriages become safe and strong relationships. I have a passion to help men overcome bondage and walk in absolute confidence. I utilize the empirically proven Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach, yet from a biblical worldview.
From the minute you begin your first session, our conversation is directed towards healing, peace, desired change and restoration. My objective is to help you discover and implement lasting change in as few sessions as possible. If you are fed up with your current circumstance and looking for real change, let’s talk.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
