Getting to know Vernice Richards
Hi, I'm Dr. V. Helping you develop, achieve, and maintain a sense of control, balance, and momentum in your life-in a sustainable way that truly lasts-is my passion. I strive to create an environment where you feel seen, supported, and constructively challenged.
You know pressure well, but when stress, anxiety, or self-doubt start running the show, it's time to take back control. I help people like you break free from the mental roadblocks holding you back, whether it's overthinking, burnout, or performance anxiety.
Together, we'll identify the root of your challenges and create a game plan tailored to your mind and body. My holistic approach blends mental performance strategies with mindfulness to help you build resilience, confidence, and a stronger connection with yourself.
I earned my PhD in Sport Psychology from Florida State University and hold an EdM in Counseling Psychology from Boston University. I'm here to guide, challenge, and support you every step of the way.

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.

Had my first session and I am already feeling great about it. I have only seen a couple but could never connect. I am happy to start this journey with her guidance!

Honestly Dr. V. is just so great. I love our session time. She always gives me such thoughtful, powerful questions to consider. She is helping me dig deeper and uncover my "stuff" in ways I haven't before, and she helps me connect dots and see patterns in my life in ways I haven't previously. I am growing in new and challenging and exciting ways, and I've been craving personal work like that for a while. I'm so grateful to have found Dr. V.!
