Getting to know Richard Beck

Skillfully incorporating patience, empathy, and extensive training, I have worked with individuals, couples, groups, and organizations in New York City for over thirty years. I hold a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University, which has deeply informed my approach. The foundations of my therapeutic methods are rooted in a thoughtful, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. In therapy with me, you are assured a safe place to grow, change, and feel better about various aspects of your life. As you experience ways to live life more fully, you can grow and improve your personal, professional, financial, and emotional relationships with others-and even yourself.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Be prepared to be listened to deeply. Emotional safety within the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstones of therapy that allows for growth to take place.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My clients are my best supervisors. Feeling understood is essential in our work together.

Richard professionalism, kindness and ability to listen have a profound impact in my well being. I am forever grateful for his support and commitment in every single aspect of my recovery.
Richard Beck creates a safe environment for his clients. In this vein, he offers a nonjudgmental approach while providing warmth and encouragement as you work together toward resolving issues.

I give Richard Beck the highest possible recommendation for anyone seeking personal growth, improving relationships, or help with life's difficulties.
I came to Richard over a decade ago as a broken man. Mentally, Emotionally, Physically, and Financially, I was just an absolute wreck.  I didn't know what to expect. I just knew I needed help. A lot of help. It was one of the best decisions of my life. And to say he changed my life would be a gross understatement, as I've had massive, continued improvements in all area's since our sessions began.  Kind, Calming, Caring, Non Judgmental in all the best of ways, Richard makes you feel comfortable immediately. An excellent listener. Trusting and warm, he gives you the time & space to heal. To grow. To just feel better. Inciteful & intelligent.  It's an amazing gift he has. I wasn't fully aware of just how much better my life was, till I looked back one day and saw how far I'd come. It amazes me still... In my opinion, he's a miracle worker. A good man, and a great therapist.  Highest recommendation
