Testimonials
Matthew Ryan helped rebuild my approach to youth, friendship, and life. Before I had met with Matthew, past specialists had failed to provide actionable advice or quality feedback. Without a guide on recognizing the ever-present good in our lives, I was depressed and committed to contemplative torpidity. Matthew listened to my troubles and shared concepts and exercises that pierced a hole through the depressive curtain wrapped around my mind. Under Matthew's guidance, I wrote a letter to a family member that released years of bottled-up emotion. On October 19, 2019, the clouds of darkness fogging up my outlook on life were lifted. I accepted flow –– Matthew's guiding concept –– and the ability to observe my thoughts as well as the strength to let go of my tumultuous past. Within eight sessions, Matthew allowed the fruits of everyday life –– supportive friendships, loving relationships, encouraging familial relations –– to bring light to my thoughts. Without Matthew, it would have taken years for me to find sun rays of warmth in my existence. A dark emotional weight was lifted out of my life and Matthew is the reason for my life's newfound happiness. To Matthew, I say thank you.

I don't think a day passes when my partner and I are not grateful to Matthew for the help he gave us. We received several individual and couples therapy sessions over a period of around six months. It was truly life-changing. He helped us understand our problems, gave us the tools we needed to communicate effectively, and enabled my partner to finally understand and quit his addiction. In doing so, Mathew saved our relationship. We are now happier than ever. Mathew's approach is kind and non-judgemental, yet honest. We both feel that we emerged from our sessions with him as better people and couldn't recommend him more highly.
We truly mean every word. We feel that your coming into our lives was a great gift and we really cherish the help you gave us. Thank you for everything,
And of course, I must end by thanking you for preserving our family. The condition we were in is now a distant memory, but we were in bad shape. We were not getting along, and he was punching me in the face. The three of us argued, badly, every day. How do I properly thank you for repairing us? What words adequately express the value that you provided to our lives? It is not an exaggeration to say that you saved my family.
In the process you did become more than “our therapist” and I appreciate that you think of us as more than clients.
Thank you for helping us and for dedicating your life to helping so many others. We are all lucky that you decided to move to Hanoi.

"Over a number of weeks, we had couples therapy with Matthew Ryan online. I was very close to walking away from my marriage before I reached out to Matthew. Therapy with Matthew has been a complete game changer and we are both now happy in our marriage. Matthew, unlike other therapists we tried, did not take sides but calmly assisted us both to change our patterns to enhance our relationship. Matthew was caring and empathetic to both of us. There was nothing dramatic, all very simple steps that really worked and continue to work. At first, we were a bit reluctant to try online therapy, but actually being able to have therapy in our own space worked very well. I am very grateful for all Matthew's help and would absolutely recommend Matthew to any of my friends and family."

My first impression of Matthew is how considerate and willing to help he was. I was going through some big changes at the time and I’m happy to say that my sessions with him were tremendously helpful in helping me adjust to my current life. He is a very good listener and with time, I found myself opening up to him about a lot of topics. His direct yet non-judgmental approach made hard topics easier to deal with. He was able to both validate my feelings and offer new perspectives and solutions that I hadn’t considered. I could tell that he genuinely cared and wanted to help me in my situation and I really appreciated him for that. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is going through changes in their lives or just need somebody to talk to.
