My Approach to Helping
Hello-My name is Ryan, and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based out of Southern California (Long Beach). I work with young people and adults in an individual setting, and I specialize in men's issues, substance use conditions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger issues. It is my goal to support you in getting back on track and finding your way again. I will help you identify negative self-talk and faulty cognitive errors that are causing emotional pain and discomfort. My approach involves providing you with the tools and techniques that will assist you in being the best version of yourself, which is happy, joyous, and free. We can work together to modify thought processes, which will improve feelings, behaviors, and outcomes.
My therapeutic orientation is cognitive and behaviorally based, as well as solution-focused. My approach is geared toward helping identify negative thoughts and belief patterns that cause emotional discomfort and unhealthy outcomes. I work with teens and adults who are struggling with substance abuse issues, depression, and anxiety.
You are not alone.
