Hi! I'm Ken and I have been in counseling for about 12 years. I have experience with a wide variety of disorders, with a particular interest in Borderline Personality Disorder and couples’ therapy. My approach is simple as I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy. We are all different with our own unique struggles in life's journey. Often all we are looking for is a listening empathetic ear that after a conversation results in the comment "that person understands me and doesn't judge me." That is what I strive to accomplish with every client. I also believe that every person is simply looking for love and acceptance. My focus would be to help you discover your own unique worth, and to see that anything is possible regardless of what you have experienced in life thus far.
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Depression
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ralph Byerly. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been in and out of therapy for years and the reason being is that my other therapists have never been able to help me in the way that Ralph has! For the first time I feel like I am really making progress with a therapist rather than just talking weekly. His approach to childhood & adult trauma has given me hope for a brighter future to move past all that has held me back. I will always be grateful for Ralph,
his kind words, and the lessons we have learned together!

Ralph “Ken” Byerly is a great guy and I especially recommend him for active/former military personnel. As a former sailor he understands the world of struggles that servicemembers go through a little better than I would expect a normal civilian therapist to understand.

Ive had 2 therapist. Ralph is by far the most professional down to earth caring individual i have ever met and goes the distance when times were rough even on his vacation when i didnt want to intrude he was there for me. That to me says alot. His sacrifices to be there are worth ever dollar ive spent for support. He's honest, open and holds integrity
