What I liked about Mr. Richard is that I believe in my heart that he’s a really good man. I think that is very important when trying to find a therapist. As I talk to him, I really feels he cares about my well-being and he’s helping me to get to a place to be content and happy and forces me to see beyond today and what my future could be. I’m very appreciative of how he works with me. Each week after our sessions I feel better and more positive about my situation.
