Brief description: Ryan Allen became a child therapist because he wanted to help kids in those crucial years when their brains are still malleable and they are able to learn the skills that will help them for the rest of their lives. He helps families use the little time they have together to connect rather than fight and, in so doing, help to find peace in their homes. Ryan has helped families both in his practice in Atlanta, Georgia as well as around the world on TikTok where his viral videos have received over 13 million likes.
