Ryan has helped me realize many of my personal issues and conflicts, and has helped me to learn to listen to myself. My relationship with my wife has become much stronger and through the teachings of communication and understanding, our love life has greatly improved as well. Thanks to both BetterHelp and Ryan for being there for me.

I selected Mr. Black because of his profile. He is skilled, accommodating, and flexible. He is authentic. He works with me and doesn't work "on me" - a vital part of what I feel makes an effective therapist.

Ryan is a very approachable person who intensively listens and responds. The first therapist I have found in years who made me feel seen and heard in my first session. I would highly recommend him.
