Patrick Richoux

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sugar Land, TX


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and retired nurse with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, social work, and behavioral health. Born in Texas and raised in Brazil and Chile, I’ve spent much of my life moving between cultures. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and bring that multicultural perspective into my work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety and overthinking, depression, relationship difficulties, narcissism, grief and loss, caregiver stress, aging, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help who want to create a meaningful life on their own terms and figure out what you want the next chapter of their life to look like.

I have a particular interest in helping people who have spent years being the dependable one—the partner, parent, caregiver, professional, or person everyone else turns to—and are beginning to ask, “What about me?”

Hi, I'm glad you're here. If you're navigating a chronic illness, caring for a loved one, coping with grief, or adjusting to a major life change, you may be carrying more than most people realize.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a background in medical social work, I've spent years supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging seasons. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your world changes unexpectedly or when you're constantly putting others' needs before your own.

My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and less alone as we work through whatever you're facing together.
