About Richard
I have a Bachelors in Economics and a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I am licensed by the state of North Carolina as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and as a Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I am also a Nationally Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I belong to the American Counseling Association, The National Board of Certified Counselors and the National Association for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC). I have been working in human services for the past 26 years and 4 years of counseling in a variety of different settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I enjoy helping people and I do this through the use of the following therapeutic models: - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), - Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), - Motivational Interviewing (MI) and - Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs within these evidenced based therapeutic models. These models have demonstrated efficacy in producing positive outcomes for persons that are predisposed to a myriad of disorders including: - Stress, - Anxiety, - Depression, - Major life adjustments and - Addiction It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Read more Show less
