- “I just need to say Ryan...put meaning into my life again when I though all was lost. I was at my lowest point and the first session I had with him he asked "how are you doing" from that moment I knew he was right. He listens, asks the right questions, but also asks how you feel about the question hes asking. If I could I would elect Ryan for everything! He made something click in me that I thought I lost a long time ago, more importantly he makes it about YOU!”

He has held that standard of care every single week for all of the many months I have been meeting with him<br /> for therapy. Ryan is so easy to talk to and the conversation always flows so well. He always seems to know exactly what questions to ask that allow me to consider different angles of any situation. Ryan has certainly helped me through a very dark time in my life and I have so much respect for him. To anyone on the fence about using BetterHelp, I say do it and request Ryan Laverdiere as your therapist.”
