Getting to know Richard Sparacio

Dr. Richard Sparacio, EdD Licensed Psychologist Collaborative Therapist | Mental Health Specialist | Veteran Support Specialist With over two decades of clinical experience as a supervising psychologist in a state psychiatric hospital, I have worked with a broad range of mental disorders. I bring strategic insight, and an unwavering commitment in my work with patients. My treatment philosophy centers on collaborative therapy. Empowering clients as equal partners in their mental health journey. Efforts are made to demystify complex psychological challenges and foster clarity and resilience. No matter whether the patient is trying to navigate a mild mood fluctuation or managing a mild thought disorder while on medication that has resurfaced. After an initial assessment, every patient is met with respect, curiosity, and a tailored treatment plan rooted in mutual trust. Therapy in a state hospital was usually a part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan and oftentimes required monitoring the response to medication, so routine medical consultation with other attending professions is familiar when requested by patients. A goal of therapy is to create a space where patients feel seen, heard, and supported. To move toward mental wellness, therapy should be mutually transforming for the patient and the therapist by working together “mutually inquiring.” Decades of experience in a state psychiatric hospital gave me the opportunity to work with individuals and families facing a broad range of challenges—from adjustment disorders, mild anxiety, phobia, and mood disorders to complex and severe thought disturbances. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative: patients bring their experience of events, their story, their values, and their voice. This is called “relational expertise” because the patient is an expert on him or herself.
