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.

He’s awesome, helped me out a ton, gave me skills that I can apply and discuss problems I’m facing in a supportive manner while also giving straight forward advices and thoughts, helped me get past a rough patch in life.

He’s the best! If you want someone direct and solution orientated, Ryan is it. I got more out of 6 months with him than 10 years of talk therapy. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal, I cannot recommend enough. He is just the push I need to be confident in my own decisions. He tells it exactly how it is and has a charismatic persona to keep it fun and thoughtful. 10/10

If anyone is fortunate enough to get James as their therapist they are certainly lucky! He is one of the most considerate and compassion people I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with! I would love to give him the highest recommendation but.. if he’s too popular I need him to still be available!😃He is a superstar in my books! Thank you James!

I recommend better help to people all the time. I LIVE my T, he remembers everything and fully supports me, holds me accountable, if you want to bull shit around pick a different therapist. My partner signed up. His therapist does not do what minez does for me. I am still alive and fighting for another day, pay this man more.
