Richard Lantz
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience in mental health and substance use treatment. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral and experiential therapy, primarily using Existential, Gestalt, and Reality Therapy approaches. I specialize in working with youth, adults, and seniors, providing individual, couples, and family therapy. My goal is to help people take more effective control of their lives. I meet people where they are and endeavor to help them in satisfying their identified goals through increased awareness, mindfulness, empathy, and compassion. This may include process work, providing information, and listening and providing feedback. My professional experience consists of 30 years of post-master's clinical work, including leadership experience in foster care, chemical abuse and addiction, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, crisis intervention, de-escalation, and hospitalization. I am experienced in working with people aged three to the elderly. I have worked extensively with youth and families, diverse populations, and life issues, providing services in various settings, including family homes, schools, juvenile detention facilities, jails, outpatient clinics, and inpatient psychiatric facilities. I have effectively provided short and long-term clinical services, crisis intervention, and facilitation of psychiatric hospitalizations. I have also provided clinical supervision and training to licensed and unlicensed therapists in community education and participated in several government task forces focusing on gang affiliation, substance use, truancy, and other forms of delinquency. I treat a wide range of mental health and living issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, stress, autism, substance use, relationships, divorce, grief, trauma, career, parenting, and life transitions.
