He has provided therapy for individuals, groups, and families in community mental health clinics, university settings, inpatient psychiatric units, and hospitals, as well as in the wilderness and residential treatment centers. He has worked with patients with cancer and their families in the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, where he was involved in intensive therapy from the moment of diagnosis to the recovery or death of the patient and beyond. Ryan has also taught university classes at an undergraduate level as well as teaching medical students in their first year of medical school, helping them to become sensitive to the role of individual and family dynamics in health care and teaching them rudimentary skills to respond to patients’ and family members’ psychosocial needs.

He is the author of various professional articles, textbook chapters, and three books. He is also a regular speaker at regional and national conferences. Ryan’s clinical style is a warm, empathetic, courageous, uniquely creative, and attachment-based. His foremost clinical specialization is grief and loss issues. He also has specialization in both chemical addictions and process addictions, in particular patterns of excessive, obsessive, and additive video game usage. He works well both with very smart, savvy, and manipulative young men as well as with men with learning disabilities and developmental issues such as NLD and PDD. Ryan has a background as a martial artist. He enjoys singing, writing, and reading all kinds of literature, ranging from Homer and Shakespeare to Calvin and Hobbes. He has also done voice acting and has worked as a hobby with several independent software designers.

Most of all, though, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife and four children.
