Ryan is a Registered Psychologist in the province of Saskatchewan as well as Alberta. He is an active member in good standing with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists (SKCP), the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP), and the Christian Ministers Association (CMA). He holds a Masters degree in counselling psychology (MACP) from Yorkville University, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in psychology from the University of Lethbridge, and an Advanced Diploma in community services.

Ryan has worked as a psychologist for the past 7 years. Before that, he held various roles within the mental health field. In all, he draws on over 20 years of experience to meet the needs of his clients.

Ryan’s approach to counselling is focused on integrity, honesty, and respect. Since counselling is largely dependent upon the therapeutic relationship, the process is a balance of collaboration and active participation. In order to achieve this, aspects of Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Psycho-education are incorporated.

Ryan is married to his wife Rebekka and together they have 3 children.

Ryan and Rebekka are the founders of Beyond Counselling.
