Hi! I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania with over 30 years of experience in a high school setting. I have worked with young adults of differing backgrounds with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, and relationship, parenting, and family issues.
My counseling style is client-centered. I try to be an active empathetic listener and refrain from offering quick solutions or advice. I strive to provide a safe, confidential, and calm environment.
I enjoy interacting with family and friends, reading and sports.
I look forward to meeting with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Richard LaDuke. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. LaDuke is a lovely human being. He is a wonderful listener and seems to be genuinely nonjudgmental. I have a lot of social anxiety and he puts me totally at ease.

Richard from the start was always asking the right questions! That’s exactly what I was looking for in a therapist. I didn’t know what questions to ask myself so I am very happy that we have dynamic conversation about what I am dealing with at the time.

Richard has been nothing but the best in regards to helping my mental health! I can’t thank him enough.
