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.

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.

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.

very kind and understanding without shying away from things that need to be said or asked. very grateful!
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
