Richard is very thoughtful and provides time for me to express concerns that I have about things that are on my mind. He is also very patient and doesn't trivialize my concerns. He also enjoys my humor which I am about to let loose at times during our discussions.

Dr. Brown is even keeled and very calming. He creates an environment where you feel free to express yourself.

Richard is a very qualified psychologist. He was extremely caring and passionate about his work.
He helped me to get through a tough time, a low point in my life. I have been battling addiction for many years, depression and anxiety and he helped push me out of my comfort zone which has lead to hope and healing.
I recommend Richard to anyone looking for a qualified and licensed therapist.
