Getting to know Christopher Richardson

Life is a journey of many ups and downs, with numerous bumps along the way. I specialize in helping people navigate those bumps. When I began working in this field, I treated adults struggling with substance abuse. As I worked with this population, I realized that many of my clients were also dealing with a plethora of other mental health issues. I continued to refine my therapy skills and then spent a few years working primarily with children-from toddlers through adolescence-as well as with their parents and families. This taught me that many problems people face as adults can begin very early in life. I now have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, daily stressors, grief, and substance abuse. Whether it is short-term stress induced by hard times or long-term symptoms resulting from a “very” bumpy life, I will use my knowledge and the therapeutic relationship we build together to help you navigate those bumps. Some say the journey is usually more important than the destination, but I believe the journey and destination are equally important-especially when the destination is your best self. I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Los Angeles, which has further equipped me to support individuals and families on their path to healing.
