ABOUT RYAN LEIDERMAN COUNSELLING
Virtual Therapy
Online counseling is a great way to get the support you need while in the safety, comfort, and privacy of your own home. I use a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform that does not require any downloads.
My Approach
My approach to psychotherapy is dynamic and solution-focused. I also draw upon evidence-based treatment modalities such as compassionate inquiry, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Above all, my approach is collaborative as I seek to create an individualized experience that fits my clients' needs.
My Credentials
I am a masters-level psychotherapist and am licensed in British Columbia as an RCC (#15984) and in Oregon as an LPC (#C7720). I am also registered to see clients in Idaho via telehealth.
