Stacy Richardson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Stacy!

I work with adults, and older adults, creating a space where you can explore challenges and build on your strengths. My goal is to partner with you in finding solutions that honor your unique experiences and personal needs.

My focus

My clients include military members and families, IT, entertainment, medical professionals, LGBTQ+ individuals, marginalized populations, and those navigating culture, diversity, inclusion, women's issues, communication, sex positivity, and polyamory. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, and adjustment concerns.

My approach

My approach is solution-focused, client-centered, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based, cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, structural, and narrative therapy to support your growth and well-being.

My communication style

My clients include military members and families, LGBTQ+ individuals, marginalized populations, and those navigating culture, diversity, inclusion, women's issues, communication, sex positivity, and polyamory. I work with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, and adjustment concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe in honoring and respecting our uniqueness and differences. My work is grounded in the understanding that everyone's path is distinct, and I'm here to support you in navigating yours with compassion and collaboration.

My goals for you

I believe that while life's challenges provide us an opportunity to persevere in situations, behaviors may result as a way to meet that need or situation. I believe in working with you as a partner to help you identify the solutions that will meet your unique and personal needs.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, explore what's been challenging, and begin mapping out a path forward that feels right for you.
