My philosophy in life is to be authentically who I am in all parts of my life. So here I am letting you know how awkward I find it to sell myself professionally in a profile. Keeping it real simple, I am an LCSW with 10 years clinical experience. I have worked in every level of care and with just about every age group. My focus and greatest expertise is in trauma treatment.

Nice to meet you all. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow as a clinician while supporting others. The first half of my career I spent working with adolescents in schools and in their homes as a therapist. I gained a deep appreciation for their resilience, insight and growth. I currently work with adults who have both mental and physical challenges providing compassionate, person-centered care.

Devonte Richards

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


For the past seven years, I've worked with adolescents and families in New Jersey's public school system, supporting clients through anxiety, stress, family conflict, and life transitions. Today, I seek to work with Black males and those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or stressed about the conditions of the state both past and present and uncertain about what comes next. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life changes, my goal is to aid you with reconnecting with the strengths, values, and resilience that already exist within you.

I am a graduate from Fordham University with as MSW and now a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Through my own journey I have acquired knowledge on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, ,Motivational Interviewing as well as continued learning of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Mindfulness and Radical Therapy practices.
