“Richard is a professional and thoughtful therapist”

“Great communication and listening skills! Super friendly and knowledgeable 10/10”

“Richard is very knowledgeable in his field, helpful, respectful, and a great listener.”

“He is an incredibly good listener that challenges me in a positive manner. I'm glad he's in my life assisting me on my journey.”

“Richard has been great for me and my partner. He is understanding, listens and provides helpful resources. I picked a Black male therapist because I wanted someone my partner could connect with and he does a great job building relationships. He does not leaning to one side but looks at the bigger picture and issues in the dynamic. He is also spiritual which was high on our list. I highly recommend Richard for couples therapy.”

“Richard has been great, very easy to speak and his respect is amazing”

“Richard is very comprehensive, someone who listens and allows me to express myself and my frustrations. He offers good advice and does not hold back to let me know where I may be faulting, and gently lets me know what changes I could make to see if they make a difference in my day to day life. It’s been a pleasure so far!”

“Richard personable and works to build good rapport with his clients. He always makes therapy a relaxed experience. ”

“Richard is a caring and positive person. I always look forward to our sessions, because I know I can be completely vulnerable with my emotions, and he will treat me with empathy. He has introduced me to new ways of thinking, with tools such as inspirational videos and methods like Internal Family Systems. Richard reads my journal entries between therapy sessions, and gives me feedback when appropriate. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a therapy professional. ”

“Richard is very kind and honest in on primary concerns that we have discussed in previous sessions. He gives the impression of remembering his patients detailed situations and has a very kind demeanor in how he approaches every conversation. ”

“Friendly, lively, and provides excellent feedback. Richard is always a sure guiding hand to better our relationship. ”

“Richard had great empathy, understanding and recommendations. I got great value from the session we had. ”

“Richard does a great job as a therapist. He has a ton of experience in a variety of settings and is always calm, compassionate, and understanding. Talking with him has been enormously helpful. ”
