Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Meridian, ID covered by Cigna

Taking the first step in therapy can feel overwhelming. I’m Richi Sede, MA, CLSS, a clinical mental health counselor with experience as a Culturally and Linguistically Specific (CLSS) provider. I support adolescents, adults, and families—especially within immigrant, Latinx, Black, and African American communities overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I aim to create a safe, inclusive space where you feel respected, supported, and empowered to grow.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care, with a holistic perspective that emphasizes both healing and practical tools for resilience.

If you’re ready to take the next step toward growth, I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey.

My therapeutic style balances deep empathy with practical, real-world strategies. We will talk about the problems and we will actively work to understand what you can do to live by your values.

In couples therapy, we focus on breaking negative communication loops so you can both feel seen, valued, and securely attached.

My name is Benjamin. With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships and improve emotional well-being. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life challenges.

My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on meaningful, lasting growth. I help clients better understand their emotions, strengthen connections, and develop practical tools for everyday life.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and engaging—I bring honesty, humor, and compassion to create a space where you can grow, heal, and be yourself. Book with me here or at https://evolvetothrive9.com.

Hello, I am accepting new clients. I work with teens, adults, and elders with a focus on chronic health conditions, illness, grief and loss. Reaching out for support takes real courage, and I want to honor that first step. People come to therapy for so many reasons—sometimes because they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone; other times because relationships feel hard, or anxiety and depression are getting in the way of daily life. Whatever has brought you here, you’ll be met with warmth, empathy, and genuine care.

Therapy with Lived Wisdom

With over 20 years of experience walking alongside individuals on their healing journeys, I bring more than clinical knowledge—I bring lived understanding. My work is rooted in the mind-body connection, because true healing doesn’t just happen in the mind. It happens in the nervous system, in the body, and in the deeper layers of the self.

Choosing a therapist is a sacred step. If you’re wondering how to choose, I invite you to ask: “Do they do their own work? Have they sat in the depths they’ll be guiding me through?”

I have. I’ve lived the unraveling. I’ve done the deep inner work. And I’ve found my way through.

Now, I offer a steady, compassionate presence to help you find yours. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let me walk with you.

Are you depressed, anxious, grieving, etc.? Have substances been your way of "dealing" with things? I believe we all have the capability to persevere through challenging times. I have a client-centered, evidence-based approach and use a variety of therapeutic modalities that tailor to each of my clients needs. My goal is to help you identify triggers and/or stressors and learn healthy coping skills to decrease and manage stress, depression, and anxiety.

I understand the weight that mental illness and substance abuse can put on a person; the feeling of hopelessness, defeat, or the thought that things will never get better. I would like to assist you with reaching your mental health goals. If you feel my services align with your needs, please call to schedule an intake today.
