Devonte Richards

For the past seven years, I've worked with adolescents and families in New Jersey's public school system, supporting clients through anxiety, stress, family conflict, and life transitions. Today, I seek to work with Black males and those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or stressed about the conditions of the state both past and present and uncertain about what comes next. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life changes, my goal is to aid you with reconnecting with the strengths, values, and resilience that already exist within you.

I am a graduate from Fordham University with as MSW and now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Through my own journey I have acquired knowledge on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ,Motivational Interviewing as well as continued learning of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness and Radical Therapy practices.

Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and practical. Together we'll identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, understand where they come from, and develop strategies that help you respond differently.

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other, discussing what's bringing you to therapy, and identifying what you hope to gain from our work together. I'll ask questions about your current concerns and personal history, but there's no pressure to share everything at once. By the end of the session, we'll begin developing a plan that feels realistic and tailored to your goals.
