Getting to know John Richie

I offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I specialize in working with men navigating social isolation, depression, anxiety and the pressures that come with reliably big and small struggles. I am an accredited level one Gottman Institute and Relational Life Couples Therapist. I can help when communication is broken, evolving households with babies or elderly parents or when infidelity has occurred. Many of the people I see are carrying burdens they've never had the chance to resolve, or don't have the language for. Some feel stuck in patterns they can't explain or fully understand, some are in crisis or transition, and some feel that something in their life is out of balance. I help couples work through crossroads in their relationships, and navigate emotional complexity, finding a way forward and practical tools for better communication and connection. I provide a non-judgmental place to slow down, speak openly, and make sense of what's going on.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I bring lived experience to the challenges that often go unspoken. I support clients through struggles, crises, big changes in career and relationships. I help people heal from trauma and PTSD, manage anxiety triggers, navigate the hopeless, ambivalence of depression, resolve conflict, and build the resilience and coping skills that make lasting change possible. My aim is to create an environment grounded in acceptance, openness, curiosity, and real collaboration.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My work is centered on psychodynamic therapy - observing patterns, past experiences, and inner conflicts that shape feelings and relationships to others. I also draw on cognitive behavioral tools for practical, day-to-day change, and draw on somatic approaches that help the body settle trauma triggers and anxiety. I shape my work around the person I’m with and their needs, I don't believe in one-size-fits-all. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, but no one should have to work through their inner or outer struggles alone. Please reach out if my approach and style feel like a good fit for you.
