Hello, my name is Debbie Richardson and I have worked in the Counseling field for the past 36 years. I pride myself in being honest, able to appreciate people’s strengths and their struggles and believe that when people take the time to open the door to asking for help, it’s often uncomfortable and brave. It also can be just the right time to look at ourselves and figure out where we fit or want to fit in our world: in relationships, careers, and in our own skin. We can not control other’s thoughts or behaviors – all we can change is our reactions to them, both behaviorally and emotionally. Therapy isn’t magic. It’s a relationship between people that is open and truthful and asking and answering the right questions can help us see and understand things differently. It can be a pathway to a better understanding of ourselves and others and what our version of content could look like.
