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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
