After more than 20 years in the counseling fields as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Wisconsin, my approach to collaborating with clients has a two-fold approach. First, I believe in a holistic approach. Almost every problem we experience has various pieces. Somewhat like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces need to be laid out and evaluated to see the relationships among them to come up with solutions. This includes the present moment, our upbringing, our current employment, our own relationships, stresses past and present, any traumatic experiences we’ve had, etc. My second approach flows from the first belief in a holistic treatment. I encourage clients to develop a SANE lifestyle. Evidenced research shows a direct link among the elements of Sleep, Activities, Nutrition, and Exercise to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I embody what I encourage others to do. I also believe the path to wholeness lies within each of us and through the experience of heartfelt conversations we find that power within to bring about our own healing.

I had my first session with Richard and was glad I did. Richard was insightful and helpful immediately. While I have a long way to go, I appreciate the collaboration and time.

He’s a great listener and really explains things when you’re not sure. But doesn’t let things slide if you are in the wrong also which I like. Because things in life are the same way. He’s a great person and a wonderful therapist

Very impressed with Richard. At 32 years old, I finally gave an invite. I needed a therapist, but didn’t realize how much I needed a therapist until I met Richard. I’m not a person too easily open up to random strangers, but he made everything feel so warm and comforting and easy to talk with I appreciate him and better hope so much thank you for being on this journey with me.

I’m glad I took a leap and joined better help. I’m thankful to be matched with Richard. He is kind, understanding, encouraging and empathetic. He has normalized having big emotions and I feel supported as I work through them. I’m feeling more hopeful that my life doesn’t have to stay the same, dealing with the same cycle of negative self talk and overwhelming stress. I’m looking forward to putting into practice what we discuss and seeing success! I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.

Richard has deep insight and a strong understanding of cultural backgrounds, which helps create a meaningful connection. He listens carefully and highlights things I might overlook. As someone who tends to overthink and people-please, I find his topics and worksheets really helpful in guiding me to process and focus on what truly matters to me. I really appreciate all his support so far.

We haven’t worked together long. In just a handful of sessions I feel seen and safe. Richard has my healing and growth as his priority in our sessions. He meets me where I am at and sees my potential for growth and recovery. Richard fosters an environment that is non-judgmental, compassionate, educational and consistent.
Thank you!

Having seen a plethora of different mental health professionals throughout my life, Richard was the most welcome breath of fresh air I've experienced in many years. He wasted no time at all in ascertaining exactly not only what was bothering me from a surface-level expression, but to offer more descriptive verbiage as well as extraordinary insights almost immediately. The biggest things I have been missing is an accurate way to speak to my discomfort and specific tools with which to address said discomfort; Richard provided me with mountains of both within the first two sessions!

He is trustworthy and knowledgeable. With a very personal vibe that can only be described as empathy, not sympathy. This is what inspires me to share more about my issues with him. He is one of the good guys and he is actually here to help. He is a God send.

I didn’t have much luck with past therapists. I was skeptical to try out better help but I’m so glad I did! He is the best help I’ve ever received! You know he’s not in it for the money, he truly just loves helping people! Really understands and is there to see you succeed! And when I couldn’t afford it for awhile. When I came back, he’s still available to help me! Highly recommend him!

Finding Richard as a therapist was nothing short of having an angel come into my life during a very hard time. I haven't had the greatest luck finding compatible therapists in the past, so I've tended to avoid therapy altogether. Richard was an exception and has offered insights into my life and past that are facilitating positive change at a time when I need it more than ever.

Richard is a great listener who acknowledged the concerns I had. Having had therapy before with another organization, there is a significant difference between the professional and technical knowledge between Richard and the other organization's therapists. He has decades of experience in psychiatric nursing and has decades of Spanish speaking skills, making him a great therapist for Spanish speaking individuals. could not recommend Richard enough.
