About James White

My name is James “Ryan” White. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Alabama. I have been a therapist for more than nine years. I have been licensed for almost 5 years. I specialize in dialectical behavioral therapy. Specifically, DBT informed therapy. What that means for my clients is real solutions to problems quickly using DBT skills. DBT skills allow you to better control and understand your emotions. These skills have worked wonders with my clients with depressive disorders, panic disorders, and PTSD. I specialize in personality disorders as well. Over the years I have worked with adults with mental disorders as well as substance abuse difficulties. I look forward to working with you and helping you to identify goals- so that you can look forward to life after whatever difficulties you’re having now . Remember whatever brings you here is just a chapter of your life it’s not the whole book. Let’s work together to rewrite your story so that you look forward to the days ahead.

“Great guy is very skilled at his trade <br /> Would recommend to anyone looking for someone who can be straight and supportive,me and the wife really appreciate James”

“Ryan has been a tremendous help. He is honest, down to earth and very knowledgeable about psychology and how to navigate things fairly, etc. He is tactful but doesn't sugarcoat things. Would recommend him to anyone!”

“James has been my therapist on and off for multiple years and he has been the only therapist who has genuinely been able to help me with my mental health struggles”

“James(Ryan), was absolutely amazing in helping my wife and I sort out some deep rooted issues and find ways for us to move past them. He was not only able to help us as Individuals, but as a couple, become stronger together. Most importantly, he helped us become better parents through his sessions.”

“Amazing therapist and a great listener. Would highly recommend!!”

“James is great. He really listens, understands, and makes you feel validated. I would highly recommend.”

“This therapist greately helped my relationship and mental health”

“James has been very helpful in my relationship. I knew from the beginning that my partner and I had baggage from previous relationships and James is helping us navigate that as well as address our strengths and weaknesses as a couple. I don't think we'd still be together today if it weren't for James.”

“He is exactly the type of person my husband and I can relate to one on one and as a couple. He is open and honest and doesn't hold back truths and it works.”

“James has been great, his insight and ability to understand the issues we are having and working through it have been great. I look forward to our sessions because I feel I have a better understanding of how my wife feels but also how I feel as well. Really thankful for someone that seems to understand how both my wife and I are feeling and teach us how to communicate that to one another in a constructive manner.”

“Ryan is absolutely a great therapist. He is direct and helps you to see what you already know and guides you into action. I recommend Ryan and better help! .He will tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear.”

“Saved my life”

“James White is the kind of therapist that won't hesitate to challenge the way you think. That's something I really needed and for that reason, I can't recommend him enough!”

“Excellent service and respectable”

“James is great, he knows how to get on your level. Would highly recommend!”
