Getting to know Richard Fontenot

I am an Award-Winning psychotherapist (CAMFT, California Marriage and Family Therapist Association) trained to help you find your Happily Ever After, working with couples for more than 10 years. My couple clients include newer relationships, soon-to-be wed/prenuptial, as well as parents-children. My training sets me apart from most therapists, because I take a neuroscience therapeutic based approach to helping you achieve your optimum mental health and become more flexible in relationships and increase your self-awareness in how others may perceive you. I attended Duke University and trained in Clinical Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, Neuroscience for Business at MIT, and Narrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Helping you achieve optimum health is my goal. I provide psychotherapy to those who are seeking caring support, change, or improvement in their lives as individuals, couples, and families; wanting to establish stronger work, family, and/or team organizational objectives, assuaging anxious thoughts, depression, or stressors associated with life challenges. My expertise is working with clients presenting with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, school and career transitions, illnesses, family and marital issues, loss and grief, and co-occurring disorders.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
