About me

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.

Ryan has been my therapist for abut 3 months now and I have been very happy with him. He is very intuitive and knows what I need and how I need it delivered. He is authentic and truly cares about his clients. Ryan is very honest and I feel like he provides a safe space for me to process my thoughts and feelings without judgement. I would definitely recommend Ryan aka James White as a therapist and Better Help overall for providing a safe environment with so many options and opportunities to heal learn and grow.

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!
