Bio

Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm an expert in anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and LGBTQ+ issues. There were times when no one was there for me, and I don't want anyone to feel like I did. It's great to meet you!

...See more I'm the youngest person by far in my symphonic band, and everyone there always wants to talk to me. Of course, I have severe social anxiety, so this is difficult for me. It's hard for me to go to practice every week - usually I end up leaving in a panic. My grandparents, who are in the band, tell me that it's a good idea for me to get exposure to people, but it's so hard for me to stay.
I'm proud of myself for getting into a college!

Ryan is a very responsible person. He kept his professionalism obvious, but he was still very empathetic. He helped me clear up my views and make a good decision.
