Getting to know Jody Richter

Jody Richter MS, MA, LMHC, NCC, CTTP II, CSP-ADHD, CCATP WA LH61323638. I believe therapy is client-driven and am an allied provider. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. My approach I utilize CBT, Person-Centered, Talk Therapy, CPT, and Narrative Therapy depending on the client's goals and needs. My focus I have experience working with adults and adolescents impacted by trauma. I assist with ADHD symptom management, polyamory relationships, couple counseling, and abuse trauma. My communication style I prefer beginning with a friendly conversation to create a therapeutic alliance. Therapy, like life, has happy and sad elements. I am a solution-based therapist, and my goal is to help you create your own inner therapist by equipping you with the tools to manage your symptoms. My journey to mental healthcare People are my passion, and I feel privileged to be allowed to participate in my clients' lives. I earned my Master's in Counseling from the Multnomah Campus of Jessup University. In the past, I have worked with families, couples, and individuals in different settings, including roles at Head Start, a child abuse intervention center, a women's shelter, and counseling diverse populations. My goals for you During the intake, I first explain the purpose of goal-setting-that goals must be obtainable, timely, measurable, and pertinent to the client. Next, I ask the client what they would like to accomplish in therapy, and together we create the goals. My first session with you The first visit is always about introducing ourselves-both the client and myself. Next, I ask what the client would like to accomplish in therapy, then request some background information regarding prior therapeutic relationships. Finally, before the session ends, I provide the client with at least three regulation tools so they have practical strategies to manage their symptoms right away.
