Stephen Richie M.Ed., MS., LPC

I offer individual counseling & ADHD coaching for clients age 12+. I address challenges like low self esteem, hopelessness, & anger primarily using Cognitive Behavior Therapy techniques to re-frame negative & unhealthy thinking habits. I have experience providing ADHD coaching since 2018. I am familiar with how symptoms of ADHD (impulsiveness, procrastination, & difficulty concentrating) affect everyday life. Therapy with me starts with compassion, validation, and encouragement. Together you & I develop practical solutions and establish helpful systems to build routines, balance workloads, prioritize tasks, and set you up for success. Motivation will grow as you experience small victories on a daily basis. I take on the role of accountability partner and cheerleader. Depression, Anxiety, addictions, Bipolar Disorder, serious mental illness, career difficulty, and parenting struggles are other areas I am passionate about. Brief assessments are utilized to establish goals for treatment and monitor progress. Evaluations for ADHD are available upon request. I am a former public school administrator and can assist parents to get accommodations to help children reduce anxiety, disruptive behavior, & most importantly improve academic performance in the classroom. Do you want to feel like YOU again, or a new version of you. My goal for my clients is to help each person become a happier, more confident version of you, uncovering hidden talents and strengths. Each session clients are directed to tap into their God-given talents, align your behavior with your personal values, and develop healthy coping skills/activities to fight off depression and anxiety. Finally, I am a Christian and will incorporate Biblical wisdom & prayer into sessions if you share the same values and are comfortable with that practice. I believe asking God to enter our sessions can unleash His power, wisdom, and grace. Learn more at www.richiementalhealth.com
