Getting to know Richard Schultz

Hi! I'm glad you found me here in a sea of so many qualified therapists. What sets me apart from many other providers is the guiding principle that effective therapy is much more art than science. Research has consistently shown that the most influential common factor in effective therapy is a comfortable working relationship with your therapist (as opposed to a specialized treatment protocol or even years of experience). As such, I treat the quality and trust within our therapeutic relationship as the number one priority. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I encourage you to connect with me. I offer a free 15-minute consult to ensure I am the right provider for you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to provide a space in which we can engage collaboratively, to gain greater understanding through curiosity and exploration, ultimately working to address the root causes of your struggles. Developing an awareness and insight into your thoughts and decision making is key to attaining greater fulfillment and life satisfaction. You are more than what brings you into therapy and I recognize that the sum total of your lived experience is what makes you 'you'. Therapy allows you to be completely open and honest without fear of judgment, ultimately providing you the capacity to live genuinely.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

It is crucial that you are comfortable, feel understood, and can be collaborative in establishing and evaluating goals for therapy. There must be a mutual commitment to the process, making a best effort to explore and gain understanding. I offer a personalized and adaptable approach to fit your needs as a client, and I am steadfast in my commitment to help facilitate positive change. I utilize a primarily psychodynamic approach, which looks past the surface level of issues and aims to provide understanding and resolution for long-term sustainable change. Working in this way helps to connect our past experiences and relationships with the thoughts and decisions we make in the present, building a greater sense of control and stability.
