I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to Richard! From the first few moments, I had already felt at ease. He was the second therapist I spoke with and I was really disappointed with the first one. I was discouraged and didn’t want to continue finding a therapist at all but I decided at the last minute to do so and I’m so glad I did. Richard is a kind soul and a gentle reminder that there are good people out there. I immediately felt at ease and I’m so grateful to speak freely without being judged or criticized. Highly recommend
