Getting to know Randy Free
I bring experience from psychiatric hospitals, community mental health, and one of the nation's largest health systems. My approach combines CBT, EMDR, and attachment theory to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults, executives, children, teens, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping high-achieving professionals navigate the demands of leadership without sacrificing the relationships that matter most.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a practical approach that combines evidence-based therapy with decades of leadership and mentoring experience. Using attachment theory, CBT, and EMDR, I help clients overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills to thrive. When desired, I can thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.
Clients describe me as calm, direct, and easy to talk to. I create a safe, judgment-free space while challenging clients to think deeply, examine unhelpful patterns, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you move forward—not stay stuck.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After decades of leading teams, mentoring professionals, and building relationships, I realized my greatest fulfillment came from helping people grow. Becoming a therapist allows me to combine life experience with clinical training to help clients navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.
I believe therapy should have a clear purpose and measurable outcomes. Together, we'll develop SMART goals, monitor progress throughout treatment, and ensure you leave therapy with the skills and confidence to continue thriving long after our work together is complete.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to understand your story, clarify what you hope to achieve, and begin identifying the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of where you are, where you want to go, and a practical plan for moving forward.
