Ryan has been extremely helpful at highlighting the positive qualities in my own healing journey and hearing the root of my concerns. I'm excited to continue exploring his advised strategies for managing and reframing the conflicts I've been dealing with for years. I definitely recommend working with him!

Ryan is down to earth, relaxed and has a great vibe. I really appreciate that he is open to discussing anything I want, but he still reminds me of our goals and things we can focus on. I was nervous about doing therapy all via zoom, but so far I have really liked it.

Really enjoy speaking with him He has helped me with a few of his suggestions We have only met twice so far so we are still in the getting to know you stage I love the fact he is much younger than me and shares his opinions of the world from a different point of view at times. Really glad to meet with him and look forward to our sessions

It's pretty wild that my first therapist on Better Help was exactly the kind of person I was hoping he/she would be. I'm a pretty casual person and that's something I was looking for, at least to some degree in my therapist, while also being professional, kind and supportive. It has been nothing but a positive experience and journey so far with Ryan.

Ryan is absolutely amazing, I was very hesitant in the beginning but once I warmed up to him and realized therapy isn't so bad. Truly the best and I look forward to our weekly sessions.

Ryan has been very easy for me to talk to. I feel as things are going well from a therapy point of view. I probably need stronger meds but thats a primary dr question. I have not come across any issues with Ryan and I'm pleased to speak with him each week.

I’ve been working with Ryan Foley as my therapist, and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s incredibly understanding of my needs and always creates a safe, supportive space to talk through anything on my mind. What I appreciate most is how he not only listens but also helps me set clear, achievable goals. Just having regular conversations with him has been genuinely helpful and empowering. Ryan brings both empathy and structure to our sessions, which has made a real difference in my personal growth.
