Richie has been amazing for me. To be honest, I needed someone to talk to about balance in my life, but didn’t know where to start. He was able to get me there easily, balance things out, and keep them maintained.
VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Richard!

I believe everyone deserves a happy and healthy life through emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental balance. I specialize in helping individuals with addiction and recovery, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, codependency, motivation, and self-esteem. Together, we can build your confidence, happiness, and a fulfilling life.

My focus

I focus on adults who struggle with addiction, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, codependency, motivation, self-esteem issues, trauma, and finding balance in life. I also work with dancers, musicians, writers, and others in the entertainment and artistic industries.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from existential-humanistic and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. I use strategies and coping skills from narrative therapy, RET, reality-focused therapy, CBT, and Gestalt, along with a directive approach. Homework is an important tool to continue work outside of therapy and measure progress.
