Dr. Patricia Ryan is the worst therapist I have been to. She was 30 minutes late. She was rude, boostful, forcefull, and unsympathetic. She kept pushing for me to tell her my problem. She is action oriented and anyone seeking to explore their childhood or other repressed memories should not go to her. She started to TEACH me about her REBT and CT therapy. She stood up and started writing on a chalkboard! FOR 10 MIN. She was forceful and did not let me speak. I walked out after 30 minutes. I would not go to her EVER AGAIN. She teaches/practices one theory only. She charges $150 a session. (the avg. charges $100). Highly overpriced

Dr. Ryan was rude, late, forceful, and unsypathetic. I arrived at my appointment on time. She however was 20 minutes late. She came into the lobby and handed me paperwork. I filled it out. 10 more minutes went by and she finaly invited me into her office. Now 30 minutes pass our appointment time. We sat down and she says "so whats your problem." I state I am not sure, I am here to self explore." She proceeds to push and push and push for my problem. I finally say something and she begins writing/analayzing my problem on a blackboard. 15 minutes go by and she is still "teaching me about my irrational thought pattern" and how I basically need to "Get over." She stats she is ACTION oriented. NOT for anyone who is seeking true psychotherapy (talking). I was looking for a therapist to talk to --- SHE IS NOT IT. I walked out after 30 minutes of her babbly about how my problems are because of my irrational beliefs and "who cares why i think that way, lets just fix it." not recommended ever!
