I provide both long-term and short-term treatments and have a special interest in Gay and Lesbian Issues (LGBTQ+) and working with the LGBTQ+ community.
In addition, I have training in Psychiatry and Law and am able to perform Forensic Psychiatric Evaluations.

A concerned and compassionate provider, Dr. Richman is supportive, helpful, and creative in suggesting new approaches whenever warranted. He has helped me to be more accepting of myself, to improve my quality of life tremendously, and to push for more of the things I want. He's grounded, helpful, and pragmatic, and has enabled me to move forward with more momentum, and on a stronger footing, than I would have thought possible when I first started working with him. He's terrific!

I’ve never seemed professional help for my anxiety before so it was scary when I met with Dr. Richman the first time. But he began asking questions and made me feel at ease and that I’m not alone in my struggle and made me feel a lot better. We discussed a medication regimen for me to follow to assist with my anxiety and we’ve been digging deeper into the core of my issues. He asks insightful questions that have given me a lot to think about and I always end up coming to our next session with even more questions. I greatly appreciate Dr. Richman for being here along with me during my journey to get mentally better.

My visit with Dr Richman was really great. He was able to accommodate a last-minute request for an appointment, even for a first-time patient, which I've found has been incredibly difficult to find. He is very thorough, attentive, and offers non-leading insights. He does not judge or condescend at all, which I've found to also be somewhat rare these days. He suggested a treatment plan which I am comfortable with, didn't just throw a prescription pad at me, and I am really pleasantly surprised and happy to have found a great doctor to work with going forward.

While not particularly warm, Dr Richman impressed me on my first visit. Not only his medical acumen but how easily blended it was with more therapy-based conversation. I liked his approach enough to agree trying out therapy with him as well.

This is my first psychiatry consultation and I am glad I chose Dr. Richman through Zocdoc. Dr. Richman was a good a listener, took a lot of notes and was very insightful in his response. I felt comfortable and confident after my visit.

He's very attentive and keeps comprehensive records which
he regularly refers to in subsequent sessions. Dr. Richman is extremely careful in prescribing medications then tracking their side effects and efficacy over the long term.
I find him to be an extremely conscientious physician.
