I am licensed in Minnesota with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma and abuse, motivation and self esteem. I have extensive experience with young adults and men who have been reluctant to seek therapy.
I believe male therapists are uniquely suited to help men better understand common coping patterns that may keep them from the improvement they seek.
I have also worked quite a bit with parents struggling with the demands of children and teens and the stress that goes with parenting. In addition I have counseled college students dealing with anxiety, stress and the many demands that go along with it.
My therapy style is open and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, understanding, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic and psycho-educational therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Randy Snyder. 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.
Randy is a great, down-to-earth dude, which is the exact therapeutic approach that I need. He offers a voice of experience that provides a grounding and safe atmosphere. Sometimes, I can be a bit "out there" and he's very capable of open-mindedly and respectfully reeling me back in to a more concrete thought process that gives me a better perspective on complex issues. I think he provides a good example of a mature and well-rounded adult man, which is an example that a lot of men like me didn't have and desperately need in life.
Overall, Randy has earned my respect by offering his in return. I know he will always be kind and compassionate. And when our video session starts I know I have a judgement-free space to safely reveal my deepest self-imposed flaws, and he brings tools to shape and shine those murky traits into a shining mirror to reflect on.
Written on Apr 04, 2023 after therapy with Randy for 2 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and adhd
