Ryan Tran, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ryan!

I believe therapy is a collaborative effort. My specialization includes working with children, adults, males, and couples. My goal is to help my clients develop a healthy perception of themselves, strengthen the relationships around them, and ultimately live a more fulfilling life.

My focus

I have been a therapist for many years. In those years, I have worked with children, teens, adults, and couples. Due to my many years of experiences I am quite comfortable working with clients from different ethnicities and genders with no concerns.

My approach

Common theoretical approaches I often use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic. I also use other therapeutic approaches based on my client's needs.

My communication style

I like to match my tone/environment with my client. I believe that creating a safe and comfortable environment is most important in what I do. I am quite easy, and I am here to listen, validate, and assist my client in identifying healthier tools to manage their life.

My journey to mental healthcare

As an Asian American male therapist, it is important to me to be culturally competent and provide a safe and supportive space for my male clients and clients of color.

My goals for you

My client and I would engage in a collaborative discussion regarding goal setting. I enjoy working with my clients on determining realistic and achievable goals for themselves.

Our first session

The first session with me is all about getting to know my clients. I like to ensure that my client and I are a good fit. I know that seeking therapy can be a bit intimidating, so I do my best to ensure that my clients are comfortable.
