Richard Carley, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Richard!

I help clients work through depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, job stress, family conflict, and relationship issues. My approach combines Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral techniques, focusing on establishing a secure relationship while applying validated methods for positive change.

My focus

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds presenting with a wide range of clinical issues.

My approach

I establish a strong therapeutic bond by validating your experience, being authentic, and respecting you. My work is based on the idea that how we interpret situations determines how we feel and behave. This approach helps address depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, and relationship challenges.

My communication style

I'm informal and relaxed with clients, creating a comfortable and safe space that helps you open up about issues that may be challenging to discuss.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to become a therapist stems from a long-standing interest in psychology and a willingness to help others find relief from mental health problems through talk and discussion.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you empower yourself to become the person you can and want to be by working through issues that may be holding you back. Along the way, you'll learn to embrace vulnerabilities you may have found unacceptable.

Our first session

The first sessions involve getting to know you, the issues you bring to treatment, and establishing initial goals. Part of this process includes assessing your background and treatment needs.
