Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Grand Junction, CO

My approach combines over 20 years of experience working in healthcare with multiple degrees in nursing and psychology/psychiatry. I have a strong background in addiction medicine, as well as general mental health care.

Hello, I am Richard. It is important to me to attend to clients at a deep level. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, problems with motivation, and other obstacles that get in the way of achieving the life they want. I also have specialized training on the interconnections between medical conditions and mental health, which allows me to offer a more comprehensive approach to your well-being. I graduated in 1995 with a Psy.D. in counseling psychology from the University of Northern Colorado and have worked across public, private, and higher education settings.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide a warm, supportive space where children, adolescents, and their families feel heard and empowered. I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and have experience providing therapy in school, community mental health, foster care, and telehealth settings. I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral and academic concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, family conflict, and peer relationship challenges.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through creative telehealth sessions using interactive activities, screen sharing, and games, I help children build coping skills, confidence, and resilience in an engaging way. I also partner closely with parents and caregivers to support lasting progress at home and at school while fostering a trusting environment where children feel safe expressing themselves within the boundaries of confidentiality.

I have over 36 years of clinical experience working with a wide variety of clinical disorders. I offer services to a multitude of client populations. I also conduct individual, couples and family therapy sessions.

I am the Founder of EQ Therapy (eqtherapy.co), a private practice designed for high-performing clients. I also teach at NYU in their graduate mental health counseling program. My dissertation at Johns Hopkins focused on the mental health experience of intercollegiate student-athletes. I supervise therapists at EQ Therapy who are accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy. If you're a couple, college student, industry leader, entrepreneur, or athlete, schedule a session with with me today!

I meet with adults for individual therapy in Colorado, exclusively through telehealth. I offer a warm and encouraging, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Therapeutic interventions are rooted in respect, acceptance and validation to facilitate successful navigation of challenging life circumstances. I have been trained in various models of treatment and adapt to client preferences. I have over 20 years of experience and enjoy working with clients experiencing life transitions, trauma and loss.
