He has helped me tremendously in understanding who I am, what it means/takes to be honest with myself, and helping me find the meaning to my life—which has kept me going. Richard understands my decisions and relieves outside pressures/social standards off my shoulders. He never tells me what I should do, but rather listens and repeats back in words that make sense and help me process through my thoughts. I have appreciated his support and guidance through all my struggles.

I was very disappointed in the treatment experience I had with my husband. I had done a great deal of research on what method I wanted to use and spoke to Richard prior to booking an appointment and felt he understood what I was looking for in a counselor. I filled out a form that was to give insights to working with me and took 1.5 hours to fill out a 15 minute form. The first time we met, my husband and I felt we received feedback and homework to do. The second time, we received no feedback and at the end of the hour, Richard stood up and said, Well, do you want to book again in 2 weeks. Luckily, my husband couldnt due to traveling with his job and although it clearly stated on their website they would work flexible hours including weekends, Richard informed us that he only worked Monday - Thursday and had I known this when we initially spoke, I never would have booked an appointment as that flexibility is very important to both of us due to our hectic personal and work schedules. Richard had verbalized he would be open to feedback and to feel free to text or email. After speaking to my husband and we both agreed that neither one of us had felt any benefit from the last session, I decided to email Richard as he had suggested to give him my feedback. At this time I have not received a response from RIchard. This leaves me feeling disappointed as I took a great deal of time in selecting a counselor and then filling out paperwork which was supposed to be helpful for the counselor to work with both my husband and me and I dont feel that Richard had read this information or I would have had a response. I am a counselor myself and I feel if I treated my clients in this manner, then I wouldnt have a practice. Due to the above referenced concerns, I have taken the time to do this review so that others can make informed decisions before choosing to work with Richard. For my husband and myself, I feel I wasted $200.00 and now I will have to begin this process with someone else and pray that this time it will be helpful.I wanted to update this review.....After I had written a lengthy email to Richard stating my concerns with questions, he wrote back, I understand and good luck. This left me with questions; what did he understand? I emailed back and after several days I received his response stating he understood I ended the therapeutic relationship and it would be inappropriate to respond by email and I could schedule another appointment to speak in person. Now I am convinced he was only interested in collecting a fee. No apology for not meeting my needs, no clarification of the concerns I had in my email. The main thing I was concerned about was his website clearly states that he is available for weekends and that was not the case. I am considering sending my emails and concerns to the Behavioral Science Regulatory Board and filing a complaint. This type of counseling was not helpful to my husband or me and it is obvious that this man is not concerned with trying to help me. He read that I ended our therapeutic relationship from a lengthy email and nothing else. Obviously he is not intuitive and didnt care that he left his clients feeling confused and abandoned. That is an ethical violation of his license. Be aware that this man is not interested in helping anyone but himself! That is my professional opinion!!

Super helpful and easy to talk to. My husband and I decided to drive a fair distance to see richard after trying a few counselors in our area with little success. Best decision weve made for our marriage!

I didnt really believe a counselor could help me. I was struggling with anger and I was losing my kids and wife. It blew my mind what I learned. Its no longer a problem for me.

I dont think anyone could have done what Richard did. Ive been to counselors before but they just did formulas and never seemed to answer my questions. Richard will answer your questions.

If I could I would give a zero star.
