Getting to know Leroy Rickard
The great poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran once wrote, “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” Some of the scars Kahlil refers to are visible, while others lie beneath the surface. These scars teach us, build resiliency, and deepen our compassion for the struggles and scars of others. As a person who has suffered and as a therapist who has tirelessly fought to reclaim lives disrupted by suffering, I want to take a journey with my clients to find what was lost, rebuild what has been ravaged, and discover a path of strength and compassion to walk together.
Within the confines of a calm, caring, and non-judgmental framework, kindness, compassion, and supportive plans become the foundation of our therapeutic alliance. You can begin to develop ways to meet the challenges you have identified in your life. With my assistance, we will work together to identify positive outcomes for many issues that have perplexed you, created barriers, and impeded your progress. We will also explore how to incorporate your strengths, rich history, and the lessons learned from trauma and joyful events alike. We will learn from each other on this path.
With age comes wisdom, and my years of life experience, combined with 10 years invested in honing my therapeutic skills and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Bakersfield, provide me with the tools necessary to help others navigate the complexities life has dealt them. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma, addiction, abandonment, or the fallout from many events, choices, and tragedies that have brought you to seek help, together we can find a way to a better, more peaceful state of being.
