I'm Dr. Fredric Richmond, a Licensed Psychologist with 37 years of experience. I have a deep sense of empathy for those suffering the pain of emotional distress. The pain may be mandatory, but suffering is optional. I want to help eliminate the suffering with evidence-based treatments that effectively reduce or eliminate causes and symptoms. My approach depends on your needs. It's based on your goals for therapy. and our mutual choice of therapy you'd like to receive. I have an interest in conducting therapy with widely used evidence-based depression and anxiety reduction therapies (CBT, DBT, Mindfulness etc.) and they can be very effective. We work as partners in an alliance to help you specifically achieve the goals of therapy you planned at the start, then you will leave having acquired the knowledge and practice using the insights, thinking, reasoning, and critical analysis skills that will enable you to regulate your emotions, challenge and refute unpleasant emotional concerns and generally feel settled and at peace with yourself, that you're calm, confident and competent in your mindset when we part company.
