Getting to know Jennifer Richter
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. For me, therapy is all about helping individuals get in touch with their true selves. I studied at California State University, Long Beach for both my undergraduate and Master's Degrees, and have been a practicing therapist and Hospital Social Worker for much of my career.
My approach
I set clear goals for myself and my clients, and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress. I approach therapy with an eclectic assortment of approaches and tools to individualize our work together to best meet your needs.
My focus
I’m open to working with anyone who is looking to better understand themselves and unlock their potential. My clinical experience spans clients of all ages and from all walks of life.
My communication style
I actively listen to my clients, while providing gentle reassuring feedback to help you not only gain insight but make progress toward insight and positive change.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always been drawn to the helping profession. I feel we are all experiencing life in different ways, and for most, it is difficult to navigate tough times. Human Nature includes struggles, sadness, and pain just as much as thriving, joy, and pleasure. I am passionate about helping people understand they are not alone and that struggle is not a recipe for disaster but acceptance, understanding, and growth.
My goals for you
I like to approach goal setting with clients by working together to define what they would like to accomplish to improve their lives. This often starts by building a trusting therapeutic relationship between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we’ll work together to set goals and monitor your progress. I make it clear that there is always room for adjusting goals and explain how important it is to embrace any accomplishments.
