Victoria Richards Therapy and Wellness, PLLC

Research in the field of mental health treatment has consistently demonstrated that one variable - the quality of the relationship between client and therapist - is most strongly correlated with positive outcomes in therapy. I work to form a trusting therapeutic alliance with my clients, and to provide a safe, healing environment. I believe therapy can be an affirmation of what makes us human: our inherent tendency to seek connection and healing in collaboration with others. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, including an inpatient detox and crisis stabilization center, in residential addiction treatment, and as an outpatient therapist, serving clients with a wide range of challenges including trauma/PTSD, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive features, depression, family-of-origin problems, and other challenges. My clinical style has been described as warm, validating, and authentic. Some of the tools I use in my practice are humanistic/person-centered therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), existential therapy, inner child work, expressive arts, and mindfulness. I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist. I look forward to hearing from you!
