Meet Ryan

When you are struggling with your mental health, you don’t just need a prescription—you need a dedicated ally. Ryan Barr is a Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C) who creates a safe, entirely non-judgmental space for you to share your experiences. He believes that building a genuine connection and strong clinical rapport is the foundation of effective psychiatric care, ensuring you feel deeply heard and supported at every step of your mental health journey.

What sets Ryan apart as a provider is his unique, foundational background in neurology. Having begun his medical career in a demanding outpatient neurology clinic in Brooklyn, NY, Ryan brings a deep, science-backed understanding of the brain to his virtual psychiatry practice. This specialized background allows him to look beyond surface-level symptoms and truly understand the underlying neurological processes driving complex psychiatric illnesses. For his patients, this means highly precise, comprehensive, and effective treatment plans.

When he isn’t advocating for his patients, Ryan can usually be found playing his guitar, riding his bike, or exploring the many hiking trails of Oregon, where he currently resides.
