Porshure Richardson, LCSW — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Porshure!

I specialize in Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My focus

My clientele preference is adults dealing with symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and stress.

My approach

The therapy approaches most commonly used are the Strengths-Based perspective, Client-Centered Therapy, and Brief Solution-Based Therapy.

My communication style

The communication style that a client would experience by working with me is casual and relaxed.

My journey to mental healthcare

What attracted me to be a therapist was the involvement I experienced in high school with my school counselor. She would spend time talking to me and my friends about issues we dealt with, trying to get along with each other and issues at home, and she gave us a platform to talk about things and made us feel like our thoughts and feelings mattered.

My goals for you

Goal setting is individualized and client-centered around social, medical, and behavioral needs.

Our first session

During the initial sessions, clients should expect a psychosocial assessment, which includes discussing general info about home, school, support system, hobbies, goals of therapy, current symptoms, medical and behavioral health history, medication list, alcohol and drug history, sleep and appetite routine, and the reason for seeking therapy.
