Getting to know Richard Sax

I once heard a quote: "In the first half of your life, find a good mentor, learn, become successful… and in the second half of your life, become a mentor, give back, and teach others." With that in mind, after a 30-year successful career in media and television advertising, I have dedicated my life to helping and treating others. Hello, I'm Rick Sax, a passionate and dedicated Associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in providing comprehensive mental health support for individuals across the lifespan. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California and completed my Master’s in Psychology at National University. Richard Sax is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. My California license number is 142844, and I am currently employed by Ron Perry.
