About Ryan McNeel

Hello and welcome! I’m Ryan, a retired Air Force veteran and experienced therapist, here to guide you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My years of running a trauma room in Afghanistan have instilled in me a profound understanding of resilience and the human spirit’s capacity to overcome adversity.In our sessions on BetterHelp, you’ll find a compassionate and understanding environment where we address challenges like stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is deeply influenced by my military background, where I learned the importance of empathy, adaptability, and strength in the face of life’s most challenging moments.With a commitment to providing tailored support, I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques to help you navigate your mental health journey. Whether you’re seeking to heal from past experiences, build resilience, or find new pathways to wellness, I’m here to offer insights and strategies that can make a real difference.Let’s work together to harness your inner strength and embark on a path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
