Getting to know Richard Yusim
I'm confident in my ability to build a rapport and meet my clients where they're at, both intellectually and emotionally. I'm able to treat most adult populations with moderate to severe mental illness. My style is client-centered, and I'm interested in helping clients communicate with themselves and others. I'm comfortable in using the expressive arts and creativity in general for interventions.
My approach
Therapy is a place of total acceptance and no judgment, teaming up with someone to learn how to be the person YOU want to be. Your therapist is there to listen to whatever is on your mind and to support you, to learn and practice our communication skills in a world confronting us with a steady flow of challenges. Let's find out how you can achieve meaning and purpose in this world. I'm a Humanistic, person-centered, Existential therapist. Mindfulness, art therapy, expressive arts therapies, CBT, solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy can all be utilized with my clients.
My focus
I have a considerable amount of experience with developmentally disabled adults and adults with dementia, but I've also treated adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am most successful with my client when I can be direct, curious, and open-minded. The clients I treat are better served when they are completely transparent and don't hold anything back. I'm able to retain clients for long periods because of my ability to build a therapeutic relationship. To be able to express their thoughts and feelings freely without fear of being judged. Clients looking for ways to cope with anxiety, depression, stress on relationships, low self-esteem, or identity issues will find both comfort in my company and will discover new tools for success.
My communication style
My first and most important task is to develop a rapport with my clients. I am very warm, accepting and curious with my clients. My communication style is sensitive, authentic and direct.
