Do you have a child that is stuck and looking for guidance from someone that they can identify with? Research indicates that the strongest predictor of success in psychotherapy is a good fit between client and therapist. My ability to relate to a diverse group of individuals parallels my treatment approach, which is always exploratory in nature. I do not have a preordained model that fits each person I see.
Instead, each story becomes my guide in properly identifying and addressing the origin and function of the problem. With EMDR, symptom relief and personal change can take place much more rapidly and deeply than through conventional talk therapy. I did several phone sport psychology sessions with Ryan while I was in Korea training for the Olympics in short track speedskating.
Despite the 14 hour time difference and my heavy training schedule, we were able to talk consistently thanks to his flexibility and willingness to adjust. Following our sessions, I was able to employ the strategies he taught me, making me noticeably calmer during races and leading to significantly better results.

I worked closely with Mr. Long at my high school where he was a psychotherapist serving students with a wide range of needs.
He was extremely professional and his collaborative approach during his time with us made him a great asset to our team and our students.
We were very fortunate to have such a strong mental health partner in the building.
For any adolescent seeking the services of a mental health professional, I would highly recommend that they see Ryan.

Emotionally distressing events can sometimes be stored maladaptively in the memory of our nervous system so as to produce disturbing symptoms long after they would have ordinarily healed.
EMDR addresses negative thoughts, beliefs, painful emotions and body sensations attached to these events, so that a healthy and natural resoultion occurs that frees the individual from being triggered to the memories of the past and associated or similar life experiences.
EMDR has been well-researched and has been approved by the American Psychological Association as an effective treatment for PTSD.

Big T Trauma's: Abandonment, verbal/physical abuse, neglect, witnessing a natural disaster, divorce, rape/sexual assault, death of a loved one, wartime experience, robbery, or a major surgery.
Small T Trauma's: adoption, reassignment of work, relationship difficulties, a recent move, challenging times over the holidays etc. and things more of that nature.
Having performed over 250 individual sessions of EMDR, I feel very comfortable in guiding individuals to reprocess disturbing memories, so they are no longer stuck and have direct access to the memory being normally filed and integrated into the adaptive memory network of the brain.
