Getting to know Richard Madero

Hi there, I'm Richard! My name is Richard Madero, LCSW [106291] in California, with 8 years of professional experience. I help clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, depression, and anger management. My approach My approach is Christian-based, strength-based, incorporating positive psychology, Exposure Therapy, solution-focused therapy, and CBT. Christian-based therapy is grounded in morals, scriptures, and values from the Bible. My focus I focus on best practices through network quality standards, helping clients feel better while ensuring ethical, compliant treatment to reduce risks for my patients and the couples I work with. I have supported clients dealing with loneliness, depression, phobias, anxieties, health and weight issues affecting self-esteem, and many others seeking a holistic approach. My communication style My communication style is assertive, honest, and open to feedback. I am an active listener who reinforces positive affirmations. Clients have a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I began my career in law enforcement, working in the Jail Division for L.A.P.D. before moving to the County of Los Angeles. There, I served as a Services Detention Officer, Deputy Probation Officer I, and later promoted to Deputy Probation Officer II. I then pursued a Master’s in Social Work at California State University, Northridge, transitioning from corrections to mental health. My first role in mental health was at Coalinga State Hospital, where I worked for 5 ½ years with Mentally Disordered Offenders (MDOs) and Sexually Violent Predators. As a clinician, I provided individual and group therapy sessions at DSH-Coalinga.
