Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Shaletha Richard, a licensed mental health counselor serving children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my Bachelor’s in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma and my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I work closely with clients to understand their unique needs and goals, using evidence-based methods such as CBT, TF-CBT, EMDR, ACT, and play therapy. I focus on creating a safe and empowering environment where clients of all ages can process emotions, develop coping skills, and achieve meaningful, lasting growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. I create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts and emotions. Together, we work toward goals like building coping skills, improving self-esteem, managing anxiety or depression, and fostering healthier relationships.
