Dr. Ryan or how I've gotten used to call her, Em, has helped me greatly with my carreer indecission. She provided me with ressources I needed to explore my values, wants and needs. She was the first Therapist i've worked with in my whole life and I'm glad my case has been assigned to her, becouse she is both professional and knowledgable in her trade as well as charismatic and nice to talk to.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Ryan is an amazing therapist! I spent two months with her and it was incredible. All my anxiety and confidence was boosted just by a lovely 40 minute session every week. A little goes a long way in therapy and the fact that I felt like the most confident person EVER after just two months with her is incredible.
