I work with children, families, couples and individuals who are seeking better relationships with self/others and want to create more balance, mindfulness, joy, and happiness in their life.
I am comfortable working with people of every age, from school children to elders, from diverse social, economic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. Most of the clients I see on a regular basis are working to better handle depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, or family and relationship problems. While I naturally gravitate toward Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I have an understanding of, and am comfortable using several different clinical and therapeutic modalities to match the clients needs. Let's work together to resolve areas of your life that are holding you back from being the best possible version of yourself you can be.

I enjoy working with busy professionals who are struggling with work/life balance, couples who need to regain a connection and improve communication, older adults, and individuals who are at turning points in their lives and need help figuring out who they are and what to do next.
Hi! I'm Rachel Richardson, a licensed clinical psychologist. I have over 20 years of experience treating patients suffering from everything from adjustment issues to severe mental illness in people who are incarcerated to CEOs and everyone in between. I aim to help people become the best versions of themselves and help them discover who that is and what that may look like based on their ideas about the world and what matters most to them. Everyone is unique and I treat everyone as an individual and as such, my approach may differ depending on what my patients need.

From a child, I have always been interested in people's stories. Where they came from, who they were connected to, and what happened to them, which led me to the work of mental health. Within my clinical practice, I feel I am a holder of stories. Through listening and offering compassion while people tell their stories, I try to help them find hope and healing within the retelling. I feel comfortable working with a diverse clientele. Telehealth has afforded me the ability to see individuals from across both Nevada and California. I enjoy working with adults through telehealth and children in person.

It is so courageous to be human, especially for QTBIPOC folx. The freedom to be or express ourselves can feel impossible. The big emotions with life transitions and internal crises can be overwhelming. The pressures of family and cultural expectations can make you feel lost or inadequate. The confusion of answering existential questions: “Who am I?” or “Why am I like this?” can be a never ending spiral. We are not meant to navigate our humanness alone. Together, we can hold the tenderness and expansion of life. I am a queer Khmer Filipinx gender fluid person with roots from the Central Valley of CA.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
