Richard has a conversational style in his sessions that helps put you at ease. He grasped a set of issues I was keen to work on with him quickly and was patient to hear me out, ask questions to clarify his understanding, and quick to share some observations that got us thinking about addressing these thoughts and behaviors. I recommend those looking for a therapist consider him.
