Getting to know Annika Richards
Hi there, I'm Annika. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help high performers manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness and journaling to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University, which informs my approach to care. Let's work together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I enjoy the concept of documenting, exploring different forms that works for you, the person as well as creating patterns of mindfulness
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Annika is amazing! She makes me feel very comfortable. I don’t feel judge, I feel heard. I am really proud of the progress I have made with her as my therapist.

I feel like Annika really listens and understands what I am saying/what I need. She gives input that helps me look at the whole situation instead of one part. And I feel like she really wants to help me through my anxiety and depression, instead of just wanting another client. I feel like she actually cares, and she makes therapy very comfortable for me.
