- LPC
We all move through life's journey through many diverse paths with unique challenges. I see my role as one who may be able to help my clients crystalize what is getting in their way of feeling successful and confident. I have had my own practice which included clients the were children as well as married couples. I have worked for a mission in Detroit to conduct intake interviews with the homeless to assess their needs. For over 39 years I have worked with students and families to sort out their paths and to help each entity assume control over the best path to follow.
I am genuine and straightforward using client centered therapy as my core. I continue to help past students who are well into their adult years overcome obstacles and reshape their goals.
I will listen intently to what you have to say and also to the way you say things. The difficult parts of our lives are difficult enough and speaking about them can be challenging. I will endeavor to earn your trust and patience while we examine the issues you find before you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Richard is a very good guy
Richard is smart, caring and compassionate. Easy to talk with and so very supportive!
Richard is a great listener and gives me great advice!
Richard has been an attentive listener, consistently asking insightful questions. His warm and humorous personality creates a comfortable environment. He goes the extra mile by researching and tailoring recommendations for classes and groups based on my specific situations.
Mr. Stevens is a diamond in the rough. I have seen many therapists, trying to find the right fit. Mr. Stevens takes the time to really get to know who YOU are and what your actual concerns are. He listens and helps guide you to what your real issue is. I appreciate his non sugar coated no garbage straightforwardness. He does not impart his personal opinions/ideologies onto you or tell you what do to. He helps me figure out what I am looking for, what I am willing to go through, and what I really should not deal with. I truly appreciate him and I'm very glad to have found him. THANK YOU MR. STEVENS!!
