I am licensed in Colorado and Kansas with 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience working on college campuses, with police, fire and EMS, in private practice and with professional and semi-professional athletes…in fact, my specialty training is in sport psychology. I have a love and curiosity for people and enjoy navigating through solutions with my clients. I try to find the right balance between being directive and reflective and have worked for over a decade to discern which one is needed in every session to give the client what they need at any given moment in session.
In my first career, I was a trainer and worked in college sports. If you are interested in healthy behavior change, coming back from an injury or wanting to get in shape or change your fitness...we can work on that too!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Ryan Hale. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Hale has a extensive background in teaching a counseling in a variety of settings… I personally am thankful for his good listening skills, but also for his straightforward manner in interacting and asking questions…
It’s also been a good fit, because he’s a Christ follower, and a family man like I am

Straight shooter that is invested in YOU. Really appreciated how he was looking for the root of issues and worked to take away bias.

I feel that Dr Hale has a personality that you could share your deepest darkest fears with and still find him a comfortable adult to have a meal or a drink with after work. What I am saying, is that he is very human and personable.

Dr. Hale has made me feel comfortable for the very first meeting to talk to him. He holds me accountable and has helped me with the help I have needed for so long. I can send him a message and he will respond with ways to help me through what I may have going on. Definitely would recommend Dr. Hale and BetterHelp to others.
