Mr. Navis is a solid clinician who definitely knows what he is doing. His attentiveness in session is nice, and his willingness to do deep dives on my concerns helps me feel validated and heard. I feel like Richard has my back, and at the same time, is willing to push me where I need to be pushed for my own personal growth. He has a great balance to his therapy style.

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 amazing! He listens, he’s knowledgeable and is usually available whenever I need him to be
Rich is a fantastic therapist that cares about your issues & what your goals are.
I have complete confidence in Richard. I would recommend him to anyone. He listens to my concerns and offers offers advice when wanted or needed and offers up at times his own struggles which adds comfort that we all struggle at times…even therapists/counselors!
I have worked with Richard for a couple of months now. He is very supportive and has a lot of life experiences that he has used as evidence to support our goals. He listens and responds with affirmation and calls me out when my thoughts stray into the gray. He has been a pleasure to work with and my healing and growth, while not complete, would not have happened to the extent it did without him.
Richard is a very patient, supportive, and relatable therapist. I always feel at ease and comfortable when speaking with Richard.
Awesome guy. Down to earth. And knows his stuff. Very easy to open up to. I appreciate this man. Thank you
He is a really good listener and hears what I have to say no matter what. He offers good advice and feedback. He's encouraging to do my best whether I had a good week or not. Very experienced and draws on his knowledge and wisdom to support me.
Like the highly intelligent father figure you’ve always needed guidance from in a therapist.
Great listener and offer solutions to the problem great therapist two thumbs up
I'm building confidence with Richard. And I'm happy with results. My wife seems to be getting more and more trust in me and Richards help is appreciated and I attribute this to Richard's help and the book we are using as a Guide.
