Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity about each person’s story. I support clients in gently unpacking the thoughts and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety and depression, while offering empathy and practical tools along the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’ll work through it together.

Therapist

Virtual • Belcamp, MD


I focus mostly on behavior change. That might be a change from how you think about yourself, relationships, work, or something else. I can help you explore that. My role is to support you in believing that change is possible.

I also work in an open-ended environment. There is no contract or set number of sessions. Therapy should be flexible, and everyone's frequency is different. Most people notice growth within 10 sessions.

Richard Haines

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I work with men who are in a “next chapter” season, high school and college students stepping into adulthood, and high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs who carry a lot and rarely have a real place to put it down. A lot of the guys I support feel stuck in confusion, relationship stress, fatherhood pressure, or the weight of past experiences that still show up in the present. My style is warm, direct, and easy to talk to, but I’m also honest and strategic. I help you get clear on what’s driving you and what’s blocking you. My background includes a B.S. in Sociology from Florida A&M University, an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Bowie State University with psychotherapy training, clinical training in a men’s resource setting, and service as an Army chaplain assistant.
