Richard Bergman, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist

I am here to help with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, life transitions and more. Through respect, understanding, honesty and a touch of humor, therapy becomes a safe place to ease distress and accomplish goals. As we work together, therapy can help with easing symptoms, healing and recovery, improving life satisfaction, relationships and well being. I incorporate the wisdom and tools from various psychotherapy approaches. Some clients choose to include the calming effects of mindfulness or meditation as part of therapy. As a Psychotherapist, I - Listen for what you say, feel and mean, seeking to understand what life is like for you and what kind of life you desire. - Ask what you feel and believe about yourself and the world. - Help you connect with your internal and external resources for coping and change. - Consider how patterns and habits may be helping or keeping you stuck. - Provide information, feedback and guidance. - Help with coping, recovery and healing from life's most challenging and painful experiences. - Help you pursue your meaningful goals. - Plan with you ways to support your progress in between sessions and help positive changes last. - Look toward your creating more meaningful ways to approach daily life, relationships, health and emotional well being. I offer Psychotherapy and Teletherapy for adults and teens (16 and older) and Couples Therapy. Treatment is available in person, online or combined.

Available hours are Monday - Thursday between 8 AM and 6 PM, Friday 8 AM-4:30 PM. Treatment is available In person, online, or in combination.
