Richard Yates, LPC

Richard Yates approaches therapy with a steady emphasis on presence and practical support. He recognizes that life can become overwhelming and that many people benefit from having someone available to listen and help them work through difficult moments. Drawing on hands-on experience with clients facing challenging circumstances, he focuses on identifying strategies and solutions that help people move toward greater stability and wellbeing.

Richard primarily practices Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), believing these methods offer structured and efficient ways to address a wide range of concerns. He uses these approaches to help clients manage intense emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, and build concrete coping skills tailored to each person's situation.

Richard holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and his training supports work across issues such as trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. He also focuses on impulsivity, men's issues, and young adult concerns, bringing a practical, solution-oriented stance to the therapeutic process.
