Getting to know Ricardo Torres

Hi there, I'm Ricardo! Feeling overwhelmed by relationships, parenting, depression, anxiety, or your inner world? You’re not alone. I help individuals, couples, and families build insight, strengthen connections, and create practical tools for real change. Together, we’ll find what works for you and move toward feeling safer, more grounded, and more like yourself. My focus I help clients manage emotional overwhelm, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and unresolved conflicts. I also support parenting stress, family attachment issues, and boundary challenges. In couples' work, we use structured communication strategies to reduce recurring arguments and help you feel closer, more connected, and on the same team. My approach I blend Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, somatic tools, and parts-informed work to help you understand patterns and shift what keeps you stuck. I adapt my approach to your needs, combining relational support with concrete coping skills. For individuals, I may use CBT, somatic strategies, and parts work when it fits your goals. My communication style I listen with warmth and clarity, creating a calm, nonjudgmental space. I’ll reflect what I hear, ask thoughtful questions, and offer feedback you can use. When things feel hard, you can expect patience, collaboration, and steady next steps. We’ll work at your pace and check in on what’s helping. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because of a desire to support healing, resilience, and healthier connections. My work has included ERMHS for students, anger management groups, couple/relationship assessments, and outreach around suicide/self-harm and parent-child relational issues. I’m motivated by helping people feel understood and capable of change. My goals for you We set goals together in our first sessions, and we refine them as your needs evolve.
