I welcome you, all of you – the good, the bad, and the ugly. I welcome the part of you that wants to scream and perhaps doesn’t know how to. I welcome the part of you that is screaming and not being heard. I welcome the part of you that constantly criticizes you – whose voice is that? I welcome the many versions of you as a child – carefree? careful? I welcome the parts of you that are shining and the parts of you that are hiding. I welcome the parts of you that feel uncontrollable and the parts of you that you keep in order. I welcome the parts you want to get rid of and the parts you cling onto.

If you are unhappy about your relationships; conflicted in work, studies or vocational choice; or are managing your anxieties through behaviors like binge-eating or substance abuse, then I can help you understand how self-defeating patterns arise, and give you tools to change them. I am experienced in both psychoanalytic and behavioral approaches to treatment and believe in adapting these to fit the individual, in order to create a strong alliance that will build confidence in your ability to change. It is never too late to start making a significant difference in your life, even at an advanced age.

With more than 14 years of experience. I am well prepared licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst (bilingual in Spanish and English) ready to provide high-quality psychotherapy to adults from a diverse ethnic and cultural background. My clinical work is profoundly influenced by my solid work and training in public and private mental health institutions in addition to my professional insight in education.

Have you or a loved one been struggling with addiction? Do you often isolate or avoid others because you don’t want them to know, and are left feeling helpless, and exhausted? Addiction is a challenge that is not easy to overcome, and is nearly impossible to deal with alone. By reading this, you are taking the first step in committing to a healthier, more fulfilling life. If you are impacted by someone else’s addiction, you are taking a step toward understanding the addictive behaviors, and exploring how to be supportive without enabling harmful behaviors.

I believe psychotherapy can offer an the opportunity to explore difficult internal experiences, relationships or life transitions in a safe, supportive environment that encourages productive change. That opportunity is based on a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. It is this relationship that is central to the change process. To facillitate the change that clients hope for, a warm, empathic and open therapist is important.

Feeling "stuck"? Dissatisfied in your relationships? Struggling with uncertainty? In a period of transition of adjustment? Perhaps old patterns of behavior are no longer serving you now. There is no issue too big or too small. While infinitely diverse and complex, we all seek to be understood. Therapy is a dynamic journey of self-discovery and personal growth toward living an intentional, authentic, and more satisfying life in the face of the inevitable ebbs and flow of life. We will partner together to explore dynamics of the past, develop insight in the present, and access your innate capacities for changing your future.

Dr. LaBode-Richman is dually trained and specialized in psychotherapy treatment and neuropsychological assessment. She enjoys working with clients across the lifespan and is able to offer state-of-the-art services in both English and Spanish.

I have a passion for working with couples at all stages of the life cycle. Premaritals, empty nesters, LGBT couples, couples with young children seeking to balance parenting with time for self and partner, couples needing support around sexuality and commitment issues, couples at a crossroads.... Much of my early therapeutic training was in Hospice bereavement counseling. Through that experience I became drawn to therapeutic encounters with the potential for spiritual renewal. In recent years I've connected with that initial sense of generativity and meaning through the practice of couples therapy, most notably in work as a premarital counselor.

Are you or your child experiencing difficulties adjusting to separation, divorce, trauma, or loss of a loved one? Do you have feelings of depression or anxiety that you can't shake off or, are just feeling stuck and wish you could uncover your potential and gifts? We all go through transitions in life and at times may need support to feel empowered and regain a sense of well being and wholeness. Seeking help is a powerful statement you make for yourself or your loved one.

Discovering who you are and what truly matters is a personal journey we often navigate alone. Yet, embarking on this exploration together with a dedicated therapist can illuminate new perspectives and foster growth. I approach this process with an appreciation for the ways in which you’ve navigated life so far and understanding that not everything needs to be abandoned, after all, you’re here! Instead, we look at how we can evolve to set you up for the best version of yourself and your life right now. Between the two of us, I believe we can accomplish the change you want!

It isn't always easy to make the decision to seek out support in a time of need. I aim to provide a warm and empathic environment to allow you to explore what is bringing you to therapy at this time, and evaluate ways to make changes in your life. Whatever you are going through, you don't have to face it alone. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides therapy to individuals with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and conflict in relationships.

Teaching you how to rise and flow on the journey of parenthood is my passion. I help you learn tools to support yourself so that parenting feels connected and joyful. My own entry into motherhood was a journey in itself—miscarriage, medical complications and postpartum anxiety. It was this experience that inspired me to work with others on their journey of parenthood. I'll work with you to manage challenges, build greater awareness of thoughts and feelings and improve balance in your life. I love to take an individualized approach to therapy based on your needs, and I see myself as a guide along a journey where you are the expert.

Whether you are transitioning into a new identity or grappling with an old emotional injury, I offer compassion when you need it most. As a psychotherapist who focuses on how our past experiences inform our present-day perspective, I accompany you while tackling challenges related to trauma, transitions, relationships, and/or everyday life. Utilizing skills from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) , Somatic Experiencing and Deep Brain Reprocessing allows me to be flexible and sensitive to the individual patient's needs as we set a course for treatment.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 35 years of experience. I have a variety of clinical interests and areas of specialization, including the treatment of trauma and PTSD; couples therapy with heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples; analytic work "launching" young adults; Ericksonian hypnosis; EMDR;Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; adolescent and family therapy; and in-depth analytic work with individuals who are feeling stuck in repetitive patterns or dynamics left over from childhood, and want to change. I have led ongoing therapy groups for women with interpersonal trauma histories for over 30 years.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better — happier, easier, fuller? If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how you're supposed to manage your relationships, career, and your life, reach out and schedule a consultation call!

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Would you like to feel calmer, more content and connected in your relationships? Together, we can work on identifying repetitive patterns that are keeping you stuck and explore how your thoughts and feelings are influencing your behavior. When you better understand yourself and your own emotions, you can effectively communicate what you want and need from others. You can break old patterns that do not serve you and find new ways to be in the world.

When you look for a therapist, you want someone you trust. Trust is the most important aspect of a good client/therapist match. It's a good idea to come in for a few sessions and get a feeling for the therapist, and I welcome you to do so. After you feel comfortable,you can start identifying the blocks that prevent you from living the best life you can live. I've helped people with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, histories of abuse, grief and loss, and people who've been hospitalized to break through their feelings of shame.

There are times in our lives when we come to feel uncomfortable in our own skin, maybe anxious or depressed, easily tired, or angry. These "symptoms" are there to tell us something isn't working right with us; they beckon us to turn inward, take heed of that small voice that unbidden calls to us. A voice that may have been there for years. It may whisper something like:" you could do better, be better, love better, accomplish more; hurt less." It challenges us to discover what keeps us from being thoroughly engaged in our lives, involved in our work, or deeply connected to our friends, our lovers, ourselves...

Sex is usually a topic that is met with secrecy, embarrassment, shame, or judgment. Thus, I aim to create a safe, open environment to address various relational and sexual concerns (i.e., lack of intimacy, infidelity, erectile dysfunction, "excessive masturbation") with individuals of various sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, and kinks. You should be able to have the sex you desire! I also welcome individuals who have issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, employment, communication, assertiveness, and/or family dynamics.
