Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Debra Richardson I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years experience in the Mental Health field. I graduated with a Masters of Social Work degree and have worked in a variety of clinical and social work settings. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to mental wellness.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is that of a guided conversation with you in the drivers seat. I use an interactive, relaxed approach in my therapy sessions to create a welcoming atmosphere. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues/conflicts and women's transition of life issues. I focus on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approaches to therapy.

What you can expect from me

I will work to create a welcoming, supportive experience and introduce therapy as a normal approach to solving challenges and managing emotions. I want you to feel different than when you started therapy, and empowered to manage your challenges moving forward.
